The Sadhu board originated in India. It has been traditionally used by sadhus and yogis as a tool for meditation, spiritual growth, and self-discipline. This ancient practice is rooted in the Indian philosophy of tapas, which involves practices of austerity and self-discipline aimed at purifying the mind and body and cultivating inner strength. By enduring the physical challenge of standing or lying on the nails, practitioners aim to transcend physical discomfort and achieve deeper states of meditation and spiritual enlightenment.
