This Week In Nithya Priyan School of Yoga let us guide you in finding length, space and liberation in the spine. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned practitioner, we have just the right camel variation for you.

This Week In Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, we are working on inversions! Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana) and Headstand (Sirsasana), which are also referred to as the Queen and King of Asanas respectively, are considered some of the most beneficial poses to practice in yoga. The reversal in the blood flow improves circulation, energises, and increases immunity by allowing the lymph nodes to travel into the respiratory system. Not only are the physical benefits immense, inversions also give us a new perspective on life by turning our world literally upside down.

Find your new perspective this week on the mat with us!

This Week In Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, join us as we work on splits. More specifically, we’re focusing on the action of straightening the leg in any variation of splits you’re working on. Splits, in general, require an awareness and understanding of both external and internal rotation of the hip to keep the hips square. In addition to that, to straighten the legs while keeping the hips square, we would need to tap into the strength of the glutes, core and quads to extend the energy all the way to the toes.

Join us all week as we explore the combination of these actions on the mat!

This Week In Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, find your inner mermaid (or merman)! Join us as we work on maximising extension in the spine and shoulders. Combine that with strong stable hips to further shine your heart in this week’s series of leverage backbends. See you on the mats!

This Week In Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, we are building bent arm strength. Strong shoulders, core and triceps meet open hips in tucked positions and shapes to find ways of awakening and activating, gaining lightness in even the most demanding poses. Find your power, rooting down to take flight. See you on the mats! 

This Week in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, we move our hips in external and internal rotation, combining deep stretching with activating and strengthening the stabilizing muscles in the hip to avoid injury.

This week In Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, we are exploring the theme of Scorpian Pose, a family of poses comprising of strong contraction backbends that work your back shoulders, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and the entire back of your body! 

With the combination of flexibility work that will release stiffness in the front of your body and strengthening work that will activate your back muscle chain, we develop the movement of feet towards head, and head towards feet, energising your body and opening you up to improved breathing and posture. 

See you on the mats! 

The theme this week in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, is strong twisting - a selection of poses that require lateral spinal rotation, minus leverage, which means strong activation of back and core muscles required. This practice presents an exploration of your active range of motion. See you on the mats! 

This is the last week of our inaugural 27 week curriculum cycle in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, and we are celebrating by turning ourselves into Yogi Pretzels! Explore the (in)famous poses of the practice that have given yogis a reputation for being contortionists, but in a safe and fun way. See you on the mats for this hip opening week!
