Lesson From Phod

 Hi pals, it is Assistant Professor Phod, here to share some yoga tips. 


Savasana, also known as final relaxation or the corpse pose, is very important. It can calm the nervous system and help the digestive and immune systems. It can reduce stress (which is really important during this crazy time). It can lower blood pressures, it is good for your health. 
After assisting my Lady with her yoga practice as well as developing my own, I have a few variations I find to be very relaxing and beneficial. 

I call this one - cool body, warm head, easy to supervise Lady if need be. 


 I call this one out for the count.


Do you have a favourite pose?

  3. You do look pretty zoned out, Phod. Mom sometimes does savasana after she climbs into bed at night to help her get to sleep. It works!

  5. I had a big boy love to do your first one but I have a rug by the front door and tile for my body. It's one of my favorite yoga positions. These days my favorite position is the one that mama calls dead dog where I lay on my side and put all four legs straight out and my head straight out and I lay really still and I don't move. I also have one where I scrunch my body in between the sofa and the ottoman in a little tiny space that's really too small

  6. You are doing a great job helping your Lady, Phod. We can often be found in the "out for the count" pose.

  14. You're really good at that pose, Phod. My favorite is what I call the "pretzel" pose. ~Ernie

  15. You sure are a helpful doggie, Phod! I wonder what the humans would do if they didn't have doggies like us to keep them calm these days?

  16. Oh, those are FABulous poses Phod! I am sure the Lady really appreciates your help with her yoga! I am partial to the corpse pose, or the "wave them like you just don't care" pose of layin' on your back with your front paws in the aire!
