Commentaries around
Śavāsana is the road between cities.”
– TKV Desikachar England 1976
– Bhāvana on the transition from Standing Āsana to Lying Āsana
“In terms of the transition within
a Vinyāsa Krama from standing
Āsana to lying Āsana and beyond.
Choose not to lie down for Śavāsana
until you feel you don’t need to lie down.”
– 108 Postural Practice Pointers
“Śavāsana is a recovery from the fatigue of practice,
rather than a recovery from the fatigue of Saṃsāra.”
– 108 Teaching Path Pointers
“The Viniyoga of Yoga perspective
is that the role of Śavāsana is
its specific use as a transition
from the fatigue of the Āsana,
rather than its general use as a
recovery from the fatigue of life.”
– 108 Teaching Path Pointers
