It is attributed to a famous yogi of the 10th century who popularized it throughout the Indian continent. According to Hindu tradition, the one who practices it achieves by a practical and violent method the spiritual liberation sought by all Indian ways. This discipline is based on the principle, recognized since Vedic antiquity, of the correspondence of the universe and the body. It includes a certain number of techniques, including the famous “postures," the “gathering of the breaths†(pranayana) and the seals which allow you to learn to master the energies of the body and mind." |
