The Book

Savasana: Between Breath and Death explores yoga’s most overlooked pose—Savasana—not as a nap, but as a path to radical rest, spiritual surrender, and conscious dying. Co-authored by Leslie Howard and Richard Rosen, this book blends yogic wisdom, practical pose tips and death awareness to reframe how we rest, how we teach, and how we die—with greater presence and grace.

Key Themes

  • Historical and philosophical roots of Savasana
  • The nervous system and the power of stillness
  • Breath, mantra, and end-of-life reflection tools
  • Savasana as death rehearsal
  • Daily rest, quieting the mind and letting go
