Clear FiltersSahaj Pranayam No. 1
सहज प्राणायाम १
The first and most fundamental breathing practice. Sahaj Pranayam No. 1 establishes natural diaphragmatic breathing, releasing chest and shoulder tension accumulated through habitual shallow breath.
Sahaj Pranayam No. 3
सहज प्राणायाम ३
Introduces a three-part breath (puraka, kumbhaka, rechaka) with extended exhale. The longer exhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system, producing deep relaxation and mental calm.
Sahaj Pranayam No. 6
सहज प्राणायाम ६
An advanced completion breath practice that integrates all elements taught in the Sahaj series — natural breath, retention, extended exhale, and awareness. It brings the pranayama session to a complete, centred close.
Sukhasana
सुखासन
Easy Pose — the classic seated meditation posture. Opens the hips gently and provides the stable, upright seat required for pranayama and meditation practice.
Paschimottanasana
पश्चिमोत्तानासन
Seated Forward Bend — a deeply calming forward fold that stretches the entire back body from heels to crown. Traditionally said to stoke the digestive fire and calm the nervous system.
Balasana
बालासन
Child's Pose — the ultimate resting posture. Gently stretches the hips, thighs, and lower back while calming the nervous system. A refuge whenever rest is needed during practice.
Supta Baddha Konasana
सुप्त बद्ध कोणासन
Reclined Bound Angle Pose — opens hips and groin while the whole body surrenders to gravity. Excellent for hormonal balance, menstrual discomfort, and stress relief.
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana
सेतु बंध सर्वांगासन
Bridge Pose — strengthens the back, opens the chest, and gently stimulates the thyroid. Useful as both an active strength-builder and a restorative posture (supported on a block).
Viparita Karani
विपरीत करणी
Legs Up the Wall — among the most therapeutic postures in yoga. Reverses venous blood flow, deeply relaxes the nervous system, and relieves tired legs. Accessible to virtually everyone.
Sarvangasana
सर्वांगासन
Shoulderstand — often called the 'Queen of Asanas'. Nourishes the thyroid and parathyroid glands, reverses blood flow, calms the nervous system, and is one of the most powerful postures for whole-body health.
Makarasana
मकरासन
Crocodile Pose — a deeply restorative prone posture that allows the spine to decompress fully while belly breathing is deepened. The natural resting position during prone practice and the primary posture for asthma management.
Shashankasana
शशांकासन
Hare/Rabbit Pose — a kneeling forward fold that provides a deep stretch to the back, shoulders, and hips. Often used as a restorative counter-pose after deep backbends. Known as the 'pose of the moon.'
Savasana
शवासन
Corpse Pose — the most important posture in yoga. Savasana 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.
