Padmasana (Lotus Pose)
Daily Practice will include:
Asanas
- Develop a better understanding of the asanas that we practice in the basic level 1 sequence and explore how to go deeper in each of these basic asanas.
- Practice some more challenging variations of the basic asanas.
- Gradually learn a few more level 2 asanas like the Mayurasana (peacock), Shirshasana (headstand), Bakasana (crane) etc. We’ll learn the various asanas or sequences of asanas that can help us prepare for these level 2 poses.
Pranayama
- In our pranayama practices, we’ll learn how to become aware of the entire breathing process and explore different components of each breathing cycle.
- Various pranayama (breathing techniques) practices will include – kapalabhati (breath of fire), bhastrika (bellows breath), a number of deep breathing practices, Bhramari (humming bee breath), sectional breathing, cooling breaths, breath retention (kumbhaka), bandhas (energy locks) and more.
- We’ll integrate the bandhas into many of the basic pranayama practices.
Meditation
We will develop an understanding of what meditation is all about, its benefits, and how to establish and ongoing practice. We’ll also practice a few simple meditation techniques
Deep relaxation
Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) helps not only relax the body but also helps calm the nerves, calm the mind and activate the parasympathetic nervous system which helps reduce stress levels
Yoga philosophy
Concepts from yoga philosophy will be sprinkled through the practice of asana, pranayama and meditation so we can develop a deeper understanding of the yoga practice as well as learn more about ourselves, and how to keep the mind calm and peaceful.
Consider these benefits…
With a daily, uninterrupted and committed yoga practice for 21 days, you will reap these (any many more…) benefits:
- develop self-discipline, self-control and high self-esteem
- learn how to combat stress
- Loose weight in a natural way – no drugs, deprivation or surgery!
- 21 days of daily practice is bound to improve your strength, flexibility, endurance and balance at physical as well as mental levels
- pranayama (breathing practices) that will cleanse you of all toxins, energize your nervous system and develop a sense of calm. Read all the benefits of pranayama practice.
- self-cleansing, detoxification at all levels – physical, mental and emotional
- emphasis on light, sattvic, vegetarian food providing the much needed energy, vitality and vigor
- waking up early, going through the yoga routine and still leaving the entire day at your disposal – a day full of energy, self-awareness and alertness
- improved productivity, time management
- developing a sense of commitment and an on-going yoga practice to keep you healthy and improving the quality of life

At the end of the 21 days you will feel like a new person, a fully transformed person – with more energy and vitality, better and more efficient breathing, a clearer and calmer mind and a change in your attitude toward life, behavior pattern, and with positive emotions and so on.
If you are a seasoned practitioner, this course will give you a new perspective on yoga and life. It will be of immense value to you if you have practiced yoga before but due to lack of self-motivation and discipline are unable to maintain a regular practice. This course will act like a ‘booster shot’ for your ailing practice. You just have to take that initial bold step and sign up so you can make use of this excellent opportunity.
