The Funny Thing About Yoga

Savasana Is a Gift: Let’s Break It Down


Listen Later

Three years in, and we’re still asking: will we ever run out of things to say on this podcast? (Spoiler: not a chance.) Every episode is a chance to learn, grow, and laugh and this one is no exception.

In today’s episode, Giana and Bradshaw dive deep into Savasana. At first, they weren’t sure if an anatomy breakdown of this pose was even necessary, but it turns out savasana deserves way more attention than it usually gets. From alignment that supports the nervous system to why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, they unpack it all.


Expect a mix of technical insight, humor, and personal stories as they cover:


  • How timing, music, and environment shape the experience
  • Variations (because savasana doesn’t feel the same for everyone)
  • The role of “dropping in” to experience pratyahara
  • Navigating discomfort, avoidance, and the vulnerability of stillness
  • And so much more...


Whether you’re a student or a teacher, you’ll leave with practical tips, relatable laughs, and maybe a new appreciation for the most “simple” yet profound pose in yoga.
