Have you ever looked at your computer and realized you have more tabs open than you thought?
That happened to me recently while I was setting up for an online yoga class. I usually have my Zoom screen open, but for some reason I hit a button and suddenly every tab that was open on my computer showed up on the screen.
And I was mortified.
There they were: all the tabs, all the reminders, all the things I had been moving between. But it also made me laugh, because it was such a clear picture of what my mind can feel like sometimes.
Busy. Full. Jumping from one thing to the next.
Just like a computer with too many tabs open.

Have you ever noticed how rushing from one thing to the next leaves you feeling scattered and tired? Sometimes, the best tool for finding your center isn’t doing more—it’s simply pausing. There is a quiet, gentle power in the pause. It’s a chance to catch your breath, check in with yourself, and invite calm into the mess of the day.
Lying down doesn’t necessarily mean we’re relaxing.
Sometimes I look around the room during Savasana and see someone lying perfectly still, but their body is still working.
Their arms are held close against their sides. Their legs are pressed together. Their shoulders are slightly lifted. Maybe their hands are still holding tension.
They’ve stopped moving, but they haven’t necessarily stopped holding.
Are you giving your body room to relax?
Have you ever gone to a yoga class and thought, I’m really here for Savasana?
I get it.
There’s something wonderful about getting to the end of class, lying down, closing your eyes, and knowing that for the next few minutes, there is absolutely nothing you need to do.
But here’s the question I want you to think about:
Why do we wait for yoga class to give ourselves permission to rest?
It's all too common to spring out of Savasana, eager to get on with the day. Maybe you’ve been there: you finally reach a state of deep relaxation, and then you jolt upright, tightening muscles as you go. Sure, this method gets you up quickly, but it also undoes the very relaxation you worked so hard to achieve. And, let’s be honest, it can feel a bit ironic to stress out your body right after a relaxation pose!
Savasana, often referred to as the “resting pose,” seems deceptively simple. After all, it’s just lying down, right? But anyone who's tried it knows that even in stillness, the body can hold onto tension. We often don’t realize that the subtle tightening of muscles or the closing off of our posture can prevent us from fully relaxing.
Have you ever found yourself attending a yoga class just for Savasana? I know I have! Many of us crave that moment of deep rest and relaxation at the end of practice, where we can finally let go and feel completely at ease. But here’s the good news—Savasana doesn’t have to wait until the end of a yoga class. You can practice this restorative pose anytime, anywhere, in whatever space allows you to recharge.
