Upa Yoga

Upa-yoga is a simple yet powerful system of exercise that activates the joints, muscles, and energy system. Based on a sophisticated understanding of the body’s mechanics, Upa-yoga dispels inertia in the body’s energy and brings ease to the whole system. It relieves physical stress and tiredness.

Oil one.

A train of meshed cog wheels runs across the stage, rust-coloured and turning in a grinding stutter. Touch any one wheel and a drop of oil falls on it; a wet sheen creeps round its rim, passes at the teeth to the wheels beside it, and the whole train turns gold and smooth.

Upa Yoga is where the practice begins: simple movements for the joints, which are the body’s gears. Left sitting, they stiffen and grind and the whole system turns unwillingly. Upa Yoga works them one by one, and the ease travels — wrist to shoulder, ankle to hip — until everything is turning again as it should, smoothly and without complaint. Touch a single wheel, and watch the oil travel.

★★★★★

I learnt Upa Yoga and Surya Kriya from Persis Ma'am. She is a very polite and lovely teacher. She explains every doubt with ease. Her energy is so calm that makes all the learning process enjoyable and peaceful at the same time. Thank you for teaching me the Kriya with right understanding at every step. I highly recommend her for those who want to learn yoga with right understanding.
