against the wall and legs spread out. Maintain comfortable
distance between two legs and let your shoulders and head
relax so that there is not any kind of stiffness in the body. Rest

mind in the fading sounds around you without trying to analyze
any specific sound.

extremely important place in yoga, and no yoga session can
come to an end without this ending posture. This relaxing
