经典干货！艾杨格大师瑜伽休息术课程口令
现代文明对于人类的神经和身体造成很大的压力，瑜伽休息术正是最好的解药。
瑜伽休息术是瑜伽中重要的放松术，集中意识的同时，放松身体。随着大脑的平静，注意力跟着指引，进入更高意识的状态。
瑜伽休息术≠睡觉！
瑜伽休息术（Savasana)是古老瑜伽中的一种放松艺术，Savasana是摊尸式的意思。《哈他瑜伽之光》一书中写到：如同一具尸体仰卧在地面上，这就叫做摊尸式。它消除了由其他体式引起的疲劳，带来了内心的平静。
通过在完全知觉的情况下保持不动，并使大脑静止思考，你就学会了如何放松。这种有知觉的放松使身心活力倍增。但是心静比身静更加难以掌握，因此，瑜伽休息术也是最难掌握的练习。
瑜伽休息术与一般意义上的睡眠有着根本的不同。瑜伽休息术练习中，习练者用意识用控制它，并且从意识中醒来。
很多初学者在瑜伽休息术中很容易睡着，原因如下：
1、专注力不够，不能将意识集中。
2、思绪万千，不能专注呼吸。
3、引导或观想的不够深入。
休息术是特殊的仪式
不管一生当中、一天当中、一节课当中我们经历过什么，最后，都是需要回归到savasana。所以摊尸式也是一个仪式。
老师可以指导学员如何进行充分的放松，如何在一节课之后补充生命之气，如何在瑜伽中懂得感恩、肯定、自我鼓励和自我祝福。
摊尸式也是每一个瑜伽练习者给自己的礼物，在努力之后、付出之后，体会到稳定、流畅、精妙、深长的呼吸对于神经的舒缓，以及精神世界的平和。体会生命之气与精神专注如一时，那种无法言表的快乐和甜蜜。
