Yoga's birth
People say one day a fish, swimming in Indian Ocean's calm
waters, went along a cave, where was enchanted by a
melodious voice. It belonged to god Shiva who was explaining
the magic positions (asanas) - created by himself and strictly
reserved to gods to his beloved wife Parvati, at that moment.
The fish, listening to these teachings, underwent a complete
metamorphosis that turned him into a man. From that time
Matysedra (meaning, in Sanskrit, "fish made man") handed
down the techniques learnt from the god as a great secret
to his disciples, becoming, in that way, the first yogi.
