After you've finished the sequence on both your right and left side, enjoy Savasana:
- From Side Plank, shift your weight back into Plank with both your hands planted on the ground. Drop your knees to the mat, and slowly shift onto your back and close your eyes.
- In order to relax and open your body fully, extend your arms a few inches away from the body, with the palms facing up. Put about 15 to 20 inches between your heels, allowing your feet to fall open with the toes pointing out. Actively shrug your shoulder blades down toward your hips. Lengthen through the spine as much as possible, relaxing your lower back toward the floor.
- After you've found a comfortable position, stay here for as long as you want, around 10 minutes or more, if your schedule allows for it. If you're short on time, remain in Savasana at least until your heart rate slows down and your breath returns to its natural soothing rhythm.
