Yoga is known for its benefits since the very beginnings of the civilization in the Indus Valley in Northern India more than 5000 years ago, also known as the Harappa civilization. The Indus Valley Civilisation is named after the Indus River system. This bronze age civilization is known for well designed urban planning including hygenic and water management systems. However, no monumental structures or huge palaces were built, other than the contemporary civilisations of Mesopotamia or ancient Egypt did.

Clocks, planners and schedules help us measuring and organising the time. Even our youngest feel the impact of organised time with schedules quite soon in the child lives: as soon as the kids start walking and talking, the parents map out their days with the time to go to kindergarden, the time to eat, to sleep, to take bath, to play. When growing up, the daily schedules are also filling up. When you are an adult you need one to five digital assets and gadgets to distribute your time over the days, weeks and months. That is called planning and you mark everything in your planner and calendar. Yet, this is all only about the quantity of time.
