When practicing body and mind in nature, ancient Indian yogis accidentally discovered that all kinds of animals and plants are born with methods of treatment, relaxation, sleep or staying awake, and can recover naturally without any treatment.

These postures have been tempered for more than 5,000 years. Yoga has taught people healing methods and benefited people from generation to generation.
