Let’s get started.

Guided Relaxation Savasana Script for Yoga Teachers:

Invite your client to lie down comfortably on their back, allowing the legs to extend naturally and the feet to fall gently outward. Encourage the arms to rest alongside the body, palms facing upward, with the hands completely soft. Invite them to close their eyes gently and bring a calm awareness to their breath, noticing the natural rhythm as it moves in and out.

Allow a slow, deep inhalation, feeling the lungs expand fully, and then a long, gentle exhalation, releasing any tension, stress, or tightness they may be holding. With each breath, encourage them to feel their body sinking deeper into the support beneath them, becoming heavier, more grounded, and more present in the current moment.

Guide their attention gradually to their feet. Invite them to notice any sensations—the warmth, tingling, or pressure of the floor against the soles of their feet. Encourage them to allow the muscles in the feet to soften, releasing all holding. Feel this relaxation slowly rise through the ankles, calves, and shins, softening each muscle and joint.

Bring awareness to the knees, noticing any areas of tightness, and allow the knees to relax fully, letting them melt into the support beneath them. Guide their focus to the thighs and hips, sensing any tension or holding, and invite the muscles of the hips and pelvis to release, becoming heavy and fully supported by the ground. Encourage them to let go of any unnecessary effort in the legs and lower body, feeling a sense of warmth and calm spreading throughout.

Shift attention to the torso, inviting the abdomen to soften with each exhale, allowing the breath to move freely without restriction. Encourage the chest to expand gently with each inhalation, and with every exhale, release any tension in the back and ribcage.

Invite awareness of the spine, letting each vertebra sink into the mat, releasing any stiffness or tightness. Guide them to notice the gentle rise and fall of the chest with each breath, using this rhythm to deepen a sense of calm and inner stillness.

Bring attention to the shoulders, arms, and hands. Encourage the shoulders to drop naturally away from the ears, releasing any tension or heaviness they may be carrying. Allow the arms to feel heavy, completely supported by the floor, and invite the hands and fingers to soften fully.

Encourage awareness of the fingertips, feeling a subtle tingling or warmth as relaxation continues to flow through the limbs. Invite the arms to completely surrender to gravity, letting go of any remaining effort.

Gently guide awareness to the neck, jaw, and face. Invite the jaw to soften, the tongue to release from the roof of the mouth, and the cheeks, eyes, and forehead to relax fully. Encourage them to let the muscles of the face dissolve any holding, creating a sense of ease and openness. Guide them to notice subtle sensations in the head, feeling the skull supported and at ease, the scalp softening, and the facial features lightening with complete relaxation.

Now, invite your client to bring a gentle, mindful awareness to the entirety of the body. Encourage them to scan from the crown of the head to the tips of the toes, noticing sensations of warmth, tingling, softness, or stillness.

Invite them to simply observe without judgment, allowing any thoughts, emotions, or sensations to pass naturally like clouds drifting in the sky. Remind them that there is nothing to do, nowhere to go—only the experience of this moment, fully present and fully relaxed.

Invite a few more slow, deep breaths, guiding them to let each inhalation bring in calm, lightness, and restoration, and each exhalation release tension, fatigue, or stress. Encourage them to imagine a gentle wave of relaxation flowing through the body, from the feet to the head, washing away any lingering tightness and leaving only stillness and peace. Allow several long moments of quiet here, letting the body and mind integrate this deep state of calm.

When ready, guide them to gradually bring awareness back to their surroundings. Begin with small movements of the fingers and toes, gently stretching the arms and legs, softly rolling the shoulders. Invite them to notice the subtle sounds and sensations in the environment, breathing in slowly, and exhaling fully.

Finally, when they feel ready, encourage them to open their eyes, carrying this profound sense of calm, balance, and renewed energy into the rest of their day. Remind them that this state of relaxation and awareness remains accessible at any moment they choose to return to it.
