## Caption

A #yogi refers to a practitioner of the ancient Indian practice of yoga. Though most Westerners are familiar with the practice of Asana (or physical yoga practice) the term also refers to a wider physical, mental and spiritual practice that is designed to bring a "yogi" closer to the supernatural. Here a boy can be seen practicing a variation on Sirasana (headstand pose) at Gurukul school of Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh, India. #yoga #history #igyoga #India
