During transition from savasana, what is suggested if you want more time?

• A. The space is yours
• B. Wiggle your fingers
• C. Stand up immediately
• D. Hold your breath

Answer: (A)

When moving out of savasana, the aim is to honor the rest and re-enter slowly. Saying “The space is yours” communicates that you have permission to linger and take as much time as you need before moving. That gentle permission helps calm the nervous system, lets the breath settle, and reduces the risk of dizziness from rushing to stand. It sets a mindful pace for the whole transition: you can stay with the stillness a bit longer, then gradually reawaken—deep breaths, gentle shoulder and spine awareness, maybe a small bend of the knees, and eventually a smooth rise when you’re ready.

A tiny finger wiggle can help with subtle reorientation, but it doesn’t convey the broader invitation to extend rest. Standing up immediately cuts off the rest you just earned, and holding the breath isn’t a safe or effective way to re-enter movement.
