NAIL-STANDING INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS ON A SADHU BOARD
Nail-standing practice with the founder of the movement in Latvia
Nail-standing (standing on a Sadhu board) is an ancient ascetic practice of deep transformation through direct contact with body and consciousness. It’s not extreme sport, not a test of pain, it’s a ceremony of meeting your true self.
WHAT IS NAIL-STANDING & HOW IT WORKS
Standing on nails activates the body’s energy points (similar to acupuncture), releasing stagnant energy that used to go into fear, control and chronic tension.
Nail-therapy works on three levels:
- Physical: stimulation of nerve endings, improved blood circulation, release of muscle blocks
- Energetic: activation of meridians, release of energy stuck in the body
- Psychological: working through fears, reconnecting with your body, reclaiming inner power
After the nail-standing practice, clarity of mind comes. Deep calm. Free energy to live and act.

Contraindications to nail-standing ?

Is it painful?
There is initial physical sensation, but with proper breathing it transforms. The main work is with inner, emotional pain.
Do I need physical preparation?
No. Nail-standing is not a sport. The practice suits people of any fitness level.
Can I practice at home?
Yes, after you’ve learned technique with a guide. You can buy a Sadhu board and practice yourself.
How often should I practice?
Depends on your goals. For therapeutic effect - once a week. For deep transformation I recommend the 4-session package.

Individual. The goal is 30–40 minutes or even up to an hour. The key moment is to cross the 3–5 minute threshold - that’s when the pain dissolves and presence begins.
