RussaYog includes over 200 trajectories that can be done using a rope, a length of fabric, a danda (portable staff), or no prop at all. RussaYog stems from Yoga philosophy created in India over 5,000 years ago. Indian stories talk of yogis who experienced heightened awareness for hours or even days while in yogic asans, or poses. In popular yoga forms, each asan is held for less than a minute. Even such a short time appears to be enough to allow one to reach physical and mental balance.
