Corpse pose


This pose can restore your body to a deep state of rest.

  • Lie on the floor with your back to the ground.
  • Let your legs spread slightly apart, and move your arms to your side. Your palms should face up to the ceiling
  • Hold this position for between 5 and 30 minutes.


Some find it helpful to listen to relaxing music during this pose. During a migraine you may be sensitive to noise, so you will need to decide if the music helps you relax.


To exit this pose, you should slowly introduce awareness back into your body. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Roll to one side and allow yourself to rest there for a moment. Slowly move yourself into an upright position.
