CORPSE POSE

Lie flat on your back with ankles and feet together, hands by your side palms up.

Be long from heels to top of head and make one side a mirror of the other.

Go to your breath and on an out breath allow the feet, ankles and legs to fall where they will.

Let your whole body soften and melt into the floor, soften your face.

Breath away any tension or discomfort, empty the mind of thought.

Close your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly.

When it is time and when you are ready slowly open eyes, roll to the right side and sit up.
