Respected sir,
Yesterday while doing my yoga i found a effective counter pose for Ardha Salabasana. Its Setu Bandha Sarvangasana(Bridge pose). I found it very relaxing after doing Salabasana and its an easy pose.
Sir i would like to share my experoence while doing Savasana.
While i was doing it i found my hands slowly raising a bit upwards. i let it moving but concentrated on my normal breathe. I found it as some power raising it and thought of sharing it.
Have youe experienced such a thing.It may be due to while relaxing the hands stretches itself, i don't know. Just shared my experience.
Hi Aravind,
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
In think when you practice savasana after other asanas and you are totally relaxed this can happen. This has happened with me also and I feel totally relaxed and blissful. The relaxed state of mind and body cannot be explained in words.
