Agni Yoga

Yoga is an ancient science of anatomy. Understanding physical anatomy and concentration in movement (postures) bring awareness to the practice.

Agni Yoga is an ancient practice originating in the high Himalayas. Its objective is physical health and particularly strength and flexibility of the spine, pelvis, legs and arms. Through numerous exercises and postures, some of which are performed with sticks or boards, the student works on the body's structure, develops flexibility and strengthens the muscles.

Agni Yoga is a particular discipline based on the knowledge of the solar plexus and its central function in supporting life. Agni means fire in Sanskrit. The solar plexus controls our inner fire. This fire or heat in our body is life. It keeps our immune shield strong and prevents disease. We practice Agni Yoga to strengthen the heat which supports the immune shield. We balance the fire to stay healthy and well.

The goal of Yoga is not only to develop the body but also the mind, its vision and clarity. Whereas Yoga postures develop strength, flexibility and longevity, pranayama, breathing exercises, develop the mind by balancing the interior and the exterior. The various breathing techniques help to open the channels of the brain for creative intelligence.
