The practices you will learn here -

### Upa Yoga

We will be starting a very effective process called Upa Yoga. Within the human system, energy flows along 72,000 pathways called nadis. At the joints, the nadis meet and form nodes, making the joints storehouses of energy. Upa-yoga activates this energy and also lubricates the joints, creating an instant sense of alertness and liveliness. It also builds a certain strength in the system.

### Kriya

Powerful yogic processes that work on the energy body to bring balance, clarity, and a deep sense of wellbeing. It has the potential to transform the life of anyone willing to invest just 12-15 minutes a day.

### Pranayam

Prana means - the basic life energy within us, Yama means - to have control over it. So, pranayam means to have control over our life energies.

### Meditation

Cultivating stillness, presence, and mental clarity — sharpening awareness and deepening inner stillness through the day.

All the practices are rooted in the timeless wisdom of the yogic sciences.
