Practice Rituals 

​

 

• Ashtanga yoga is a lifestyle and we follow it by practising asanas six days a week, preferably maintaining same space and time everyday. 

​

• Before starting the morning practice, empty your bowels and bladder, take a shower and then step on the mat. Incase practising in the evening or afternoon, wait for 3-4 hours after eating a meal.

​

• Post practice wait for 15 mins before taking a shower and 30 mins before eating food as the body takes time to cool down.

 

• Moondays are rest days due to extreme high and low energies. Please see new to yoga page for more details on this. 

 

• During ladies holidays ( menstrual cycle ) we don’t practice for the first 3 days to respect the natural flow of the body. On 4th and 5th day no inversions.

 

• Weekly once, preferably on Saturdays, we indulge in oil bath from head to toe. This is to balance the excess of vatta and pitta in the body.

 

• Our practice is supported by the kind of food we eat. Satvic aahar and vichaar will help us maintain this practice life long. ​

 

• After your practice is completed, try sitting quietly on your mat for few more minutes to observe your vibrations and feel the calmness within. 

 

• In case, on a particular day, you have less time on mat, always prefer choosing finishing sequence over attempting new asanas. Never skip the finishing sequence except on ladies holidays. 

​

• Your self practice is your best teacher

​

   • Always start and end your day with gratitude  :)
