So just be sure that you're sitting evenly on the block and
You, don't feel, any pressure or discomfort in your knee joints
so
I'm going to face this, way?

Have your hands just down, by your sides relaxed if you
Would like you can have your hands on your thighs to plant them down onto something if you
Don't like the feeling of them dangling you can touch your heels or your ankles
Whatever you'd like to do here just take a moment to quiet your mind and come inward

And we're going to take a shavasana for this shavasana i suggest that you elevate your head slightly especially if you have
Nasal congestion or sinus pressure you, don't want to be lying flat as you
May know already it causes more pain in the sinuses in the nose if you are lying flat as opposed to
Elevating your head so i suggest either getting a pillow. A blanket
Whatever you would like you don't want to tuck your chin in towards your chest you want to keep your chin
elevated you
Want to keep as much space in your throat and neck as possible and just slightly elevate your head
so once you have your pillow of choice
Come to lying on the back if you can rest your head and your shoulders on the pillow. That would be ideal?
Stretch the legs out onto, the crown, when you're ready
Separate them slightly apart from each other and relax them completely
Have your hands down, by your sides and turn your palms up towards the ceiling
Close your eyes and begin to deepen your breath
However you can to breathe in this illness that you might have
You can, breathe through your mouth if you need to that's totally fine if you have, nasal congestion
Just begin to focus on your breath
relax here
Bring, some slight motion back into your body, by gently moving your limbs your hands your feet your arms and your legs
And the legs roll on to the right side of your body
Rest here with, your knees bent and your arm underneath your head for support
Use your hands to help you come up
bringing yourself to a seabed cross-legged position
Flexing the feet underneath the knees bring the hand civil legs
Close your eyes and begin to deepen your breath once again
Take a deep breath in lengthening your spine and deep breath out
Bring your hands to meet at the center of your chest, bow. Your head to your fingertips namaste
