Usage Note

Rilassato is the past participle of rilassare used as an adjective, so it agrees in gender and number: rilassata, rilassati, rilassate. It describes a calm, unstressed state of body or mind, and is commonly used after essere or sentirsi ('to feel'). Don't confuse it with pigro (lazy) — being rilassato is a positive quality.
