Why Savasana is the hardest pose?
Although it looks easy, Savasana (Corpse Pose) has been called the most difficult of the asanas. Indeed, many yoga students who can happily balance, bend, and twist through the rest of class struggle with just lying on the floor. The reason is that the art of relaxation is harder than it looks.

You can alternatively whisper or say in your head a different word that has a similar meaning to you.
