"You Take Rest": The Medicalization and Politicization of Śavāsana
4 July 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.
