Usually during relaxation exercises you need to lie down comfortably and meditate while gradually moving your feet and arms and position them as suggested by your yoga instructor.
Different yoga routines imply different relaxation exercises. Most of them have the purpose to avoid the shocking contact with the surrounding reality. Relaxation helps you to preserve the level of peacefulness and quietness that you experience during your routine.
