    My absolute favourite asana/meditation is to do shavasana, the corpse pose, for 10-15 minutes. I just lie down on my back, let my feet and arms flop out, and just Be for a little while. I just let my thoughts and feelings Be too, without reacting to them. This is always enough for me to get re-centered and re-energised, and it’s something that I don’t talk myself out of because it seems to be more like rest than actual ‘work’.

      You are so right – it’s one of the best things about a home yoga practice, having the time to do a really long savasana.

    I typed a long comment, it didn’t go through 🙁

    My yoga teacher once said “it doesn’t matter WHAT you choose to meditate on, as long as it’s something you really like.” This helped reduce my interest in all the things I “should” be meditating on. So I had a few great weeks of 30 minutes meditation before bed, every night (third eye + OM vibration focus). It did wonders for my sleep and mood, until a bit too much socializing took over. Thanks for the inspiration to restart!

    Hey Scout,

    I hate it when you lose a comment like that 🙁

    Great advice from your teacher – before bed is often a great time to meditate, especially if you’re just starting out (and even when you’re not!).

    Blessings,
    KL
