Annalot: Why I'm Only Here for Savasana – Yoga's Ultimate Relaxation

Have you seen those T-shirts proclaiming 'I'm only here for the savasana'? They capture the joy of attending yoga class just for that final, blissful relaxation.

I need one. As a dedicated yoga enthusiast and editorial chief, nothing beats those 5-10 minutes lying flat on my back after an hour of challenging poses. While some get restless, others thrive on mindful movement. Our Powergirl Esmir put mindful sports to the test (page 52).

Mindful

Staying present in the here and now is tough when stunning images of Italy's Puglia tempt you (page 90). Here at the office, we daydreamed about being there—not exactly mindful, but honest. Craving sun, sea, and serenity? Our yoga retreats on page 96 deliver. Roll out your mat and savor that savasana!
