"You Take Rest": The Medicalization and Politicization of Śavāsana
Jul 4, 2022

Śavāsana is taught for the first time in the Dattātreyayogaśāstra (13th c. CE), therein described as one of the saṃketas, or secret methods of layayoga (Mallinson, 2017: 90). The Haṭhapradīpikā (15th c. CE) refashions śavāsana as a posture, corpse pose. It moreover assigns therapeutic benefit. Today śavāsana is a compulsory component of modern postural practice, and is framed in contemporary biomedical, political, and religious rhetoric.

Using primary and secondary textual and visual material from a range of interdisciplinary fields of study, this paper investigates how rest became a pan-yogic mandate in modern yoga culture and practice.
