Shavasana (Sanskrit: शवासन; IAST: śavāsana)
Hi, thanks for your intention to improve Wikipedia. However, you broke several things in the article, and the spellings were in fact all correct also. Let me explain.

The Sanskrit for the pose is शवासन, often transcribed śavāsana. The "ś" is a soft hissing sibilant, somewhere between "s" and "sh" in English. Wikipedia has chosen to go with the "sh" spelling for convenience; this is not right or wrong, just one of the possible transcriptions of the Devanagari, enabling English speakers to approximate the correct pronunciation.

Where that spelling is used in a filename, it of course cannot readily be changed without breaking things.

I do hope this is clear and helpful. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
