O professor Hermógenes é o precursor do yoga no Brasil e foi pioneiro ao apresentá-lo como uma possível terapia para distúrbios e disfunções mentais. Isso na década de 1960, quando a psicanálise era algo totalmente desconhecido no país e qualquer desvio de comportamento, muito malvisto. Foi assim que surgiu Yoga para nervosos, quando Hermógenes percebeu que essa prática com mais de 7 mil anos de existência poderia mudar a forma com que as pessoas pensavam e sentiam a sua existência na terra.

If you get nervous in social situations - meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss - you've probably been told, "Just be yourself!" But that's easier said than done - especially if you're prone to social anxiety.
