Hatha yoga poses were often copied from animal poses.

If you observe closely, you can see your dog and cat doing yoga like poses such as stretching and relaxing.

Many hatha yoga poses also have animal or bird names.

Mayurasana means the 'peacock pose' and Simhasana' means the 'lion pose'.

So these are just poses used for relaxing the body, and are useful in reducing physiological and psychological stress.

It is stress that creates negativity and compels people to be reactive, emotive and conflict-prone.

A relaxed person is bound to be positive, balanced and patient with issues seeing them in the correct perspective and solving them easily.
