Prone savasana is one of my favorite poses. To practice this variation of savasana, lie on your belly with your hands stacked and elbows bent out to the side, forehead resting on your hands. Make sure you can comfortably breathe through your nose. Your legs can be spaced hip bone-distance apart or wider. The legs can be neutral or slightly turned out.
This version of savasana is particularly suitable for those with lower back pain, those with sensitivity in the back of the hips and tailbone, and/or those who feel uncomfortable with the front body facing upwards.
As you breathe and relax, allow each exhalation to invite you to soften and let go into the support of the earth beneath you. Practice up to 5 minutes or any amount of time the feels right for your body.
