Kusti

Kusti is a traditional form of Muslim physical and spiritual discipline originating in South Asia, especially India and Pakistan. It combines specific breathing exercises, postures, and recitations from the Quran to promote physical strength, mental focus, and spiritual growth. Practitioners perform a series of movements called "suras" while reciting prayers, often outdoors or at mosques. The practice is believed to purify the body and mind, foster discipline, and deepen religious faith. Kusti is typically practiced by devout Muslims, especially during special prayers or religious festivals, serving as a way to connect physically, mentally, and spiritually with God.
