Our Approach

Amanaska Adhyathma Yoga Shala is established to teach Indian Yoga concepts in their original perspectives.

We believe that Yoga can bring about positive changes to the individual and the society. Classes are held in a homely atmosphere, for small groups of students, so that spiritual knowledge and awareness is imparted in a traditional way. We make sure that each student fully understands the essence of all the subjects we teach.

The importance of the various subjects:

Philosophy

It involves a detailed study on the spiritual aspects in its true Indian sense: Yoga what for, what are the objectives? What is Hatha Yoga and what is Raja Yoga? Which is the best? To find answers to the above questions, we need to study Patanjali Yoga Sutras in detail.

Physical Practice: Asanas

What is the role of Asanas? How to practice them for the best results? What other practices are necessary and what is the recommended method as enunciated in the texts? Asanas are taught without using forced adjustment methods. This prevents the body from unwanted injuries. With asana, we include basic study of anatomy.

Pranayama

What is Pranayama? Why and how to systematically integrate many types of Pranayamas in the daily practice? What is the mechanism that is working behind the practice?
