corpse pose- the hardest pose of all by fiveplustwo

corpse pose- the hardest pose of all

I watched in morbid fascination,
pricking my disbelief,
for a sigh, a turn of the head.
But your savasana was perfect.

Tension releasing from your body
mind withdrawing from the senses
sunk deep in a ripple-less lake,
spirit surrendered, this life recedes.

@kali66

apologies for being so morbid lately... Mike will be along tomorrow to cheer you up
pppsss.... should this photo be turned?

Great sensation of sinking into nature!

It's perfect - morbid is ok sometimes! Love the POV and the 'sinking' into nature' feeling as Julie said... "The hardest pose of all" love it!

@juliedduncan @kerosene thankyou for the positive spin, sometimes I cant see the wood for the trees :)

It is my absolute favorite pose. I feel cheated when we don't do it. And then I do it on my own as the class leaves the room. One time I played dead after class because I accidentally smacked the male classmate next to me in the butt 2 or 3 times in class. Funny, he hasn't been next to me since.

Oh, I didn't know this was actually a yoga pose! Silly me! :)

@juliedduncan well you do now, you could try it sometime

@amandal passive aggressive? lol

Me? No way. I was so embarrassed. It's a very close proximity class...mat to mat. She's a popular teacher. I avoid being next to guys now. I was once grabbed during corpse pose. Maybe that was an accident, too. Hopefully, but I've been creeped out by that guy since.

@kali66 That's a thought . . . :)

@amandal omg you would be wide open, that is cruel!

@kali66 Multiple times even that same night. Most unrelaxing corpse pose ever.

@kali66 @amandal Funny stories from yoga for sure! I've fallen asleep with this pose on more than one occasion. Fortunately in Bikram it is at the end after your breathing. What's embarrassing is when someone starts snoring!

@mikegifford I still have trouble not giggling when people toot in class.

@kali66 @amandal Wait until their body oder knocks you over....in Bikram Yoga when the temp is roughly 100 degrees F some real stinky stuff can permeate the air. When you find out who it is, you make sure NOT to get next them.

@mikegifford That's the kind I do...and I always smell good. But man, do I pour sweat. I leave that class liked I just got out of a pool, especially in the summer! We have two classes back to back. The second class is always really gross and stinky with the smells from the first group lingering. Yoga. I love it! I've already done so many yoga shots. Even was doing handstands last week. Maybe I'll play.

OMG...Awesome! To think I had that one already, but got on board too early to use it!

@kali66 Very well done. I like the serious take on this theme.
