What is Sadhu Board?

Nail boards originated over 2,000 years ago in India, where similar devices used by yogis are called “sadhu boards” or “bed of nails”. The Board with nails on which the practice is performed is called the Sadhu Board. “Sadhu” means 'Holy man'. Simply put, a yogi. It is a practice to evolve the body and the spirit. The Sadhu Board is the practice of standing on a plank to which special nails are nailed at regular intervals.
