If Savasana is uncomfortable, you are not failing your practice; you are choosing a different way to transition back to your day. Many home practitioners feel pressured to perform the traditional corpse pose, but if lying flat causes pain, distress, or is impractical in your space, you have the flexibility to adapt.

Yoga is a diverse, living Indian tradition transmitted through teachers, communities, institutions, texts, and modern media. The Ministry of Ayush protocol presents one contemporary public-practice sequence, but it is not the only form of yoga. Because yoga styles and physical demands vary, qualified instruction and appropriate modification can reduce avoidable risk. Your closing transition should serve your current state, not a rigid expectation of stillness.
