Wow! Sounds like you had a deep experience of the bliss you have explained in this article. Amazing!! I too being a yoga practitioner, can understand this flow.
Yes, during Savasana I feel more blissful than I can even put into words. I think it is one of the reasons I have stuck with yoga over the ten years I have been practicing. I figured if I could “just make it to savasna” everything would be okay. There are plenty of times I showed up on my mat for that reason,..and sometimes that reason only. haha. Anyways, I am grateful for it and what it has done to keep me close to this incredible gift of a daily yoga practice.
