In addition to physical considerations, Savasana Contraindications also include certain psychological and emotional conditions that may arise during deep relaxation. Individuals experiencing severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, or panic disorders may feel uneasy, overwhelmed, or emotionally vulnerable when lying still in silence. The inward focus of Savasana can sometimes bring suppressed thoughts or emotions to the surface, which may be challenging without proper guidance. For such practitioners, keeping the eyes open slightly, practicing guided relaxation, or shortening the duration of the pose can provide a greater sense of safety and control. Understanding these contraindications ensures that Savasana remains a supportive and healing practice rather than a source of discomfort, emphasizing the importance of personalized guidance and mindful adjustments in yoga practice.
