Body conditioning through subtle exercises, known in Sanskrit as Sukshma Vyayama, is a foundational yoga practice focusing on gentle movements and basic asanas to prepare the body and mind for deeper practices. These practices are designed to:

 

• Releasing Joint Tensions

• Eliminating Energy Blocks

• Aiding Flexibility & Mobility

• Prepare & Strengthen for Higher Asanas

• Enhance the flow of prana or life energy

• Synchronizing breath with movement to enhance body and mind coordination

Connecting to the breath lays the foundation to create a harmonious state of well-being. Through practices such as breath awareness, one learns to control the breath, which in turn calms the mind. They help:

 

• Inducing Correct Breathing Patterns

• Enhances the vital capacity of the lungs

• Establishing the natural, relaxed rhythms of respiration

• Purify the energy channels

• Balance the flow of prana

• Controlling the thought process and calming the mind

• Elevate self-awareness

Through specific relaxation practices, we target and release neuromuscular knots, allowing energy to move freely and naturally throughout the body. We place special emphasis on relaxation asanas, which are introduced both before and after the main practice session, and whenever the body needs rest. They are particularly effective in:​​​

 

• Reduction of Chronic Pain

• Nervous System & Cardiovascular Regulation

• Deep Rest and Recovery hence improved sleep quality​

• Enhanced Mind-Body Awareness

Mental conditioning through the practices of Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), Dharana (focused concentration), and Dhyana (meditative absorption) nurtures a state of inner peace, happiness, and calmness. These methods help in:

 

• Gain control over your mind

• Enhance focus

• Mental discipline
