Bando yoga or Burmese yoga is a form of yoga from Myanmar usually taught alongside bando. Probably based on the internal training of Indian martial arts, it was used by ancient warriors of northern Burma to maintain health and protect from illness and disease. Today it is practiced by ethnic Burmese in parts of Southeast Asia, India and Bangladesh.
Bando yoga is used for three main purposes. These are for maintaining overall health, prevention of illness and disease, and restoring or recovering from illness and injury. There are three systems of Burmese yoga:
- danda yoga (Development of flexibility by using the staff)
- longyi yoga (Development of flexibility by using cloth or rope)
- letha yoga (Partner-assisted improvement of circulation and stimulation of joints)
