The word asana literally means a posture. By consciously forming the body into a certain posture, one creates a conducive passage for energy flow that can elevate one’s consciousness and naturally achieve a chemistry of health, joy, blissfulness, and above all balance.

Upa Yoga

Upa-yoga is a simple yet powerful system of exercise that activates the joints, muscles, and energy system. Upa-yoga essentially means “sub-yoga” or “pre-yoga”. Because of its many immediate and evident benefits, the word "Upa Yoga" in Indian languages is commonly used to denote “usefulness.” 

Based on a sophisticated understanding of the body’s mechanics, Upa-yoga dispels inertia in the body’s energy and brings ease to the whole system. It relieves physical stress and tiredness.

Upa-yoga rejuvenates the body after a period of inactivity and negates the effects of jet lag and long travel. Rejuvenating the body after periods of inactivity is essential, particularly for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries. Practicing Upa Yoga regularly, one can gradually restore strength and stamina, creating a sustainable pathway to improved fitness and resilience.

Yogasanas

Difficulty: moderate

In an untrained state, the human body is a constant manifestation of various levels of compulsiveness. By consciously forming the body into a certain posture, one creates a conducive passage for energy flow that can elevate one’s consciousness. Yogasanas are a way of aligning the inner system and adjusting it to the celestial geometry, thereby becoming in sync with the existence and naturally achieving a chemistry of healthfulness, joyfulness, blissfulness, and above all, balance. 

Hatha Yoga stems from a deep understanding of the mechanics of the body, and uses yogic postures, or yogasanas, to enable the system to sustain higher levels of energy. By practicing this profound science, one can change and enhance the way one thinks, feels, and experiences life.

Isha’s Hatha Yoga program offers a comprehensive set of yogasanas which require no special physical agility or previous experience of yoga. It is a very subtle process of changing the energy in the system, which in turn straightens out physical and mental imbalances. Regular practice of Hatha Yoga not only improves health and wellbeing, but also significantly enhances the experience of kriyas and meditation. At Isha, Hatha Yoga is imparted not as a physical exercise, but in its full depth and dimension, enabling a person in the most fundamental way, to flower into his ultimate potential.

Benefits:

  • Relief of chronic health conditions

  • Evolution of body and mind towards a higher possibility

  • Stabilization of the body, mind and energy system

  • Deceleration of the aging process

Surya Shakti

Difficulty: moderate

Surya Shakti is a dynamic form of the Sun Salutation which is an ancient yogic practice with a powerful sequence of 18 postures.

Surya means “Sun,” and Shakti means “Energy”. When we say Surya, we are talking about the Sun which is the basic powerhouse of the planet. Life on the planet is solar powered, including human system. Surya Shakti is a way of using that energy. 

Surya Shakti builds the physical body – it makes the sinews and ligaments of your body strong. In Yoga, we give importance to the sinews that hold the skeletal system and the whole body together. When we do any yogic practice, which is physical in nature, the focus is mainly to strengthen those, not to pump up your muscles. Strengthening the sinews of the body is what will endure for a long time and keep you well. Surya Shakti does this in a tremendous way.

Benefits:

  • Brings about physical fitness and overall well-being

  • Makes the sinews and ligaments of the body strong

  • Increases mental alertness and focus

  • Creates a basis for one to move into higher states of energy

  • Increases physical strength & stamina

  • Realigns the musculoskeletal system

  • Increases energy levels

Price:

  • Surya Shakti workshop: 200 €​ (100 € if already learnt Surya Kriya)

  • Workshop time: approx. 4 hours (2 x 1h 45m session)

  • 40-day mandala support after the workshop included

  • One free review/correction session

Individual sessions can be arranged upon request.

Bhuta Shuddhi

The basis for all creation, including the physical body, is the group of five elements: earth, water, wind, fire, and space. The well-being of the body and mind can be established by purifying these five elements within the human system.

There is a whole system of yoga called Bhuta Shuddhi, which means “purification of the elements.” The Bhuta Shuddhi processes offered by Isha provide a unique opportunity for everyone to benefit from this esoteric yogic science, which otherwise requires intense sadhana (spiritual practices).

This process also shapes the body into a stepping stone towards one’s ultimate well-being. Bhuta Shuddhi gets to the root of imbalances in the body that lead to disease. This simple practice, which you can do daily reorganizes your system on the elemental level.

Benefits:

  • Keeps the system in harmony and balance

  • Prepares the system to handle powerful states of energy

  • Enhances the capabilities of the physical body, mind and energy system

  • Creates the basis to gain complete mastery over the human system
