Savasana, the “final pose” of yoga, is often mistaken for a simple rest at the end of practice. In truth, it is far more: a profound encounter with stillness, surrender, and the mystery of death itself.
Blending yoga philosophy, end-of-life wisdom, and practical tools to deepen the pose, Savasana: Between Breath and Death invites readers to see this pose not as an afterthought, but as a doorway into the deepest teachings of yoga. With clarity, compassion, and a touch of humor, longtime yoga teachers Leslie Howard and Richard Rosen explore savasana as both an everyday practice and a rehearsal for the ultimate letting go.
Through step-by-step instructions, reflections, and stories drawn from the yoga mat and teaching experience, this book offers practical guidance for skillfully practicing and teaching savasana. Readers learn how thoughtful setup, pacing, and language can transform this pose from a passive rest into a powerful and meaningful practice.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, a teacher, or simply a curious seeker, this book will guide you into the quiet heart of yoga, where breath dissolves, time softens, and the infinite is revealed. To surrender well is to live well. To practice dying is to awaken to life.
