Surya Shakti
Surya Shakti builds the physical body – it makes the sinews and ligaments of your body strong. In Yoga, we give importance to the sinews that hold the skeletal system and the whole body together. When we do any yogic practice, which is physical in nature, the focus is mainly to strengthen those, not to pump up your muscles. Strengthening the sinews of the body is what will endure for a long time and keep you well. Surya Shakti does this in a tremendous way.
- Surya Shakti enriches your life in many ways:
- Brings about physical fitness and overall wellbeing
- Makes the sinews and ligaments of the body strong
- Increases mental alertness and focus
- Creates a basis for one to move into higher states of energy
- Increases physical strength & stamina

Strand by strand.
A single slack thread hangs across the stage with a small weight on it, sagging deeply. Every few seconds a new bright thread spirals along the rope from one end to the other and binds in; the rope grows thicker, tighter and more golden, and the sag eases, until at twenty-one threads the weight hangs from a rope that barely bends. It rests, fades, and begins again from one.
Surya Shakti builds the body the way a rope is built: not in one pull but thread by thread. Eighteen postures, done briskly, are one round; a round is a thread, and a thread sags under any weight. The rounds are built up over months, in steps, and some go very far indeed. Each new round is wound on to the last, and in time the same weight that bent a thread hangs from a rope that barely bends. Nothing to do here. Watch it wind.

What students say about Surya Shakti
★★★★★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.

★★★★★Ms. Persis Cursetji is an incredible Isha Yoga teacher whose patience and expertise have truly transformed my practice. Despite being obese, I can now perform Surya Shakti, Shishu Pal Asan, and Angamardana. I thank her for her unwavering support and guidance. Her teaching is clear, empowering, and deeply impactful. Highly recommended!

★★★★★My son is 9 yrs old and has practiced Surya Shakti for kids with Ms. Persis. He was hesitant as he joined but then he got comfortable, as Ms. Persis was so calm and patient with him. He got well involved and enjoyed all the sessions happily, and could later do the practice independently. Such an amazing teacher and mentor is Ms. Persis.
