Subtle Yoga... Rejuvenate your body from tip to toes... gently :)

Yogic Suksham Vyayam (YSV), or Subtle Yoga, allows us to experience yoga as practiced by Yogis in the Himalayas. These yogic warm-ups from India very subtly and gently rejuvenate all organs of the body from tip to toes. They are scientific exercises that not only make us strong and supple, but also help remove impurities from our bodies and improve the memory, concentration and will-power.

YSV can be done by persons of most ages and abilities. It is performed in a standing position (while it may be adapted to a chair) and does not require a yoga mat (although a mat is always preferred for a number of reasons).

Please make sure you don't eat anything solid for at 2 hours before class. Bring a mat or a blanket, if you like. Jal or Sutra Neti in the morning before YSV class helps in enjoying a deeper experience.
