Yoga, perceived and developed; thousands of years ago, by Yogis, who deep in the jungles of India and China, decided to master their minds and bodies. In this peaceful environment they observed the animals in their solitude-how they moved, how they rested,how they instinctively cured themselves when sick. As they experimented with the different postures of the animals on their own bodies, they felt the subtle effects of these movements on their own organs and glands. That is when they invented a system of thousands of exercises; called asanas,many of which are called after animals, which inspired them, cobra, lion, hare, tortoise, tree, & scorpion.

Asana; indian sanskrit; means posture comfortably held.

The subtle pressure of the asana posture,held motionlessly for a certain length of time with the right breathing, restores the proper secretion of hormones; resulting in emotional balance and thus physical and mental health.

Sharanam Yoga is a restorative yoga.
Restore disbalance,disease, disharmony to health,ease,balance,peace of mind.
