Did Yoga come from Earth?

RocketCat

Sort of a pedantic lore point here, but I've been asking around and there there is no reference in EARTHMEDIA. Say my PC wants to go through a yoga craze... would all the positions be the same? Do we have fossilized Sanskrit words? What's the deal? What do y'all think?

Nope, yoga did not come from Earth. I'd say invent your own posture-based stuff instead!

RocketCat

Awesome, thanks for the swift response! I may just stake a Shen claim on a range of techniques then :pleased:

Aurelius

Give me an outline of some basics along with appropriate names and I'll even make it official in the lore!

I guess the real question is: did yoga even come from Earth IRL? :chuffed:

What a fine suggestion ... This is going to send me on an OCD linguist's hunt for phonological exactitude.

Decheerans own tree pose. Don't even try to claim that one. And it is appropriately called "Decheeran Pose"
Downward dog is called "Krona Pose" by everyone except the Krona, who simply don't get it.

I'm sure you'll all be fascinated by the presence of the emotes: treepose, lotus, downdog (also pushups, situps, and limber, for the more conventional exercisers among you)!

Can we also get pilates emotes?

Would anyone get the reference if I suggested Prude Seal or High-Functioning Autistic Coyote?

And now take it into slutty seal, this is a variation on prude seal.
