Initially, Shavasana may seem like a simple posture. But, when we approach the practice with a little more depth, we can discover a powerful restorative practice with profound and multifaceted benefits.

In this podcast episode, Jivana talks with guest, Shawn Moore, about ways to make Shavasana more inclusive and supportive for everyone. Shawn shares insights into the transformative nature of Shavasana from his experiences teaching yoga, both virtually to students in their homes and in public classes.

Topics Include:

1. Perspectives on Shavasana

2. Making Shavasana accessible

3. The importance of props

4. Creating a safe space for practice

5. Symbolism of Corpse Pose

6. Addressing trauma and accessibility

7. Demystifying meditation
