The word Shavasana comes from two Sanskrit words “Śava” means “corpse” and “Āsana”, means “posture” or “seat”. The alternative name of Savasana is Mritasana which is also comes from two Sanskrit words “mṛta” means “death” and “asana” means “pose”.The earliest mention of the Corpse pose or Savasana is in the 15th century Hatha yoga Pradipika, which states in the context of a medieval belief system that “lying down on the ground supine, like a corpse, is called Shavasana. This pose eliminates tiredness and promotes calmness of the mind.
