Savassana is a vulnerable shape; your student’s eyes are likely closed, lying on their backs, surrounded by strangers, in a room not in their home, possibly processing some stuff.
Teachers, you need to do a couple things to ensure Savassana FEELS safe for your students.
First of all, Shhhhh.
You might have many beautiful, well intentioned things to say, but now is not the time.
Secondly, respect this integral part of the practice. Don’t EVER take pictures. And if you are going to burn palo santo, or provide hands on support, please make sure you have consent. Period.
