4. Shavasana/ corpse pose– To end your ten minute yoga routine, you must practice Shavasana which is a restorative asana and helps to relax the mind and body. Lying flat on your back, with your eyes closed, breathe through your nose and relax. I can almost see your smile as you rest before the humdrum of the day takes over:)
