Shavasana is corspe pose in yoga, the finale at the end of a long class, the death of your current yoga practice to help you transition to the birth of your next daily activity. Rolf Gates thoughts on this final pose: 'What Seneca taught me was that an adult lives many lives. We invest years in a moment, and then that moment passes and we must be willing to let it go, so as to be able to embrace the next moment. A study on longevity found that the common thread among those who live long is their ablility to endure loss. This is the lesson of shavasana. We embrace the moment with all we have, and when the moment is over we step back and let go.'
