Mountain Pose
The foundation of all standing poses. Tadasana teaches the body to stand with active alertness, improving posture, balance, and the foundational alignment carried through all other asanas.
Tree Pose
A balancing posture that develops concentration, coordination, and steadiness of mind. The challenge of balancing on one leg is a direct teacher of mental stillness.
Legs Up the Wall
Among the most therapeutic postures in yoga. Legs Up the Wall reverses venous blood flow, deeply relaxes the nervous system, and relieves tired legs — accessible to virtually everyone.
Child's Pose
Child's Pose is the ultimate resting posture — gently stretching the hips, thighs, and lower back while calming the nervous system. Use it as a refuge whenever rest is needed during practice.
Corpse Pose
The most important posture in yoga. Shavasana integrates the physical and mental work of the practice, allows the nervous system to consolidate new patterns, and produces a state of conscious rest unlike sleep.
Easy Pose
The classic seated meditation posture. Sukhasana opens the hips gently and provides the stable, upright seat required for pranayama and meditation practice.
Yoga Nidra (Non-Sleep Deep Rest)
A guided body-scan and visualisation practice done lying down. Yoga Nidra produces deep relaxation equivalent to 4 hours of sleep in 30 minutes, and is one of the most clinically validated practices for burnout and PTSD.
Alternate Nostril Breathing
A pranayama practice that balances the two hemispheres of the brain and both branches of the autonomic nervous system. Clinical trials show significant reductions in blood pressure and anxiety within 15 minutes.
