Surya Kriya
Surya Kriya is a potent yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health, wellness, and complete inner well-being. “Surya” means “sun,” and “kriya” means “inner energy process.” Surya Kriya activates the solar plexus to raise the samat prana, or solar heat, in the system. It also balances a person’s left and right energy channels, leading to stability of the body and stillness of the mind. This strong foundation becomes the basis to explore higher dimensions of life.
- Develops mental clarity and focus
- Remedies weak constitutions
- Boosts vigor and vitality
- Balances the body, mind and energies
- Rejuvenates all the major organ systems including balancing hormonal levels
- Supports one to become meditative and experience peacefulness and joy

What students say
What students say about Surya Kriya
★★★★★I've had such a lovely experience practising with Persis at Yoga Quest. I joined her early morning classes and learned Yogasanas, Surya Kriya and Bhuta Shuddhi under her guidance. As an Isha-certified instructor, she teaches the practices with so much care and respect, but what made the experience especially meaningful for me was Persis herself. She is incredibly warm, patient and genuinely caring. She was always there to guide me when I needed help with my practices, and she also took the time to listen and support me on a more personal level. I genuinely loved going to her 5:30am sessions. No matter how early it was, I would always leave feeling lighter, calmer and so glad I had gone. My time practising with Persis was something I really enjoyed and looked forward to. I have a lot of respect and affection for her and would wholeheartedly recommend Yoga Quest. ❤️

★★★★★I signed up for the Surya Kriya workshop and I am so glad Persis guided me through the practice. She is a fantastic teacher with patience to go at the speed you are comfortable with. She has vast Hatha yoga knowledge and I would go back to learn new practices from her!

★★★★★Persis Mam is a wonderful yoga trainer. She had undergone a highly intensive 150-day Hatha yoga training from the Isha Foundation, and I got an opportunity to learn yoga in its most genuine form with her. Persis Akka is very warm and friendly. I have learnt Angamardana, Yogasana, Surya Kriya and Surya Shakti from her. If you're in Dubai, I will definitely recommend not to miss this opportunity.

★★★★★Jai Guru. Mrs. Persis, I wish to say my thanks to you for such a gentle guide for the Kriya sessions. It remained a good experience and learning. Generally get to know so many techniques but lag the correct observant guidance — because of which Kriyavaans tend to make mistakes. But sessions with you made it more clear about Surya Kriya, with needed time to time corrections and revisions.

★★★★★I did my Surya Kriya at Yoga Quest. That space was energetically divine holding lots of positive energy. And she trained us very calmly. An authentic place to practice Isha sadhanas.
