"Spare the rod, spoil the child" is a modern day saying which means if a parent fails to discipline the child then they become unruly. Now we have a solution to this. If your kid is hyper active & faces attention disorders you may not use a stick to punish them rather ask them to perform Super brain yoga.
India is home to yoga and thanks to Narendra Modi government's initiative to promote yoga internationally. They have written to UN to declare June 21st as international yoga day. Also they are planning to come with an unique idea of promoting tourism on yoga by issuing Yoga visas.
India is a country which practises yoga in daily walks of life. In one of the biggest of religion in India (Hinduism) they offer prayer offerings to Lord Ganesha in temples by performing Super Brain yoga (In local dialect its called Thoppukaranam). The teachers & parents punish the kids for their wrong doing by asking them to perform this act. In recent days this practice has faded away and people doesnt know how to perform this correctly.
