I am pleased to announce the next 21-day Yoga Immersion program. The past programs have been very well received by all the participants. For most of them, it has been truly a life-transforming experience. I invite you to join me on this exciting and deeply rewarding 21-day yoga journey.
No prior asana, pranayama or meditation experience is required.
I will be offering this class via live video streaming using the Zoom platform. However, you are welcome to join the class in person at my home yoga studio.

Here is what the previous participants have to say…
“Absolutely wonderful! I didn’t want it to end! :)…”
– Kristen Daniels
“… I was suffering from lower back pain and anal fissure for a year and half. After taking this 21-day challenge (with sattvic food) program, I completely got relief from the pain…”
Asana: We will practice a variety of asanas (physical postures) during these 21 days. Even though we will maintain the same overall routine, each day we will either introduce a new pose or practice variations of different poses. The asana practice will improve strength, flexibility, endurance and balance in different parts of the body.
Pranayama: Various pranayama (breathing techniques) practices will include – kapalabhati (breath of fire), bhastrika (bellows breath), a number of deep breathing practices, Bhramari (humming bee breath), sectional breathing, cooling breaths, breath retention (kumbhaka), bandhas (energy locks) and more.
Meditation: We will develop an understanding of what meditation is all about, its benefits, and practice a few simple meditation techniques
Deep relaxation: Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) helps not only relax the body but also helps calm the nerves, calm the mind and activate the parasympathetic nervous system which helps reduce stress levels
Yoga philosophy: Concepts from yoga philosophy will be sprinkled through the practice of asana, pranayama and meditation so we can develop a deeper understanding of the yoga practice as well as learn more about ourselves, and how to keep the mind calm and peaceful.
Consider these benefits…
With a daily, uninterrupted and committed yoga practice for 21 days, you will reap these (any many more…) benefits:
develop self-discipline, self-control and high self-esteem
learn how to combat stress
Loose weight in a natural way – no drugs, deprivation or surgery!
21 days of daily practice is bound to improve your strength, flexibility, endurance and balance at physical as well as mental levels
pranayama (breathing practices) that will cleanse you of all toxins, energize your nervous system and develop a sense of calm. Read all the benefits of pranayama practice.
self-cleansing, detoxification at all levels – physical, mental and emotional
emphasis on light, sattvic, vegetarian food providing the much needed energy, vitality and vigor
waking up early, going through the yoga routine and still leaving the entire day at your disposal – a day full of energy, self-awareness and alertness
improved productivity, time management
developing a sense of commitment and an on-going yoga practice to keep you healthy and improving the quality of life
self-analysis, giving a better understanding of the intricacies of the mind
and more …….
At the end of the 21 days you will feel like a new person, a fully transformed person – with more energy and vitality, better and more efficient breathing, a clearer and calmer mind and a change in your attitude toward life, behavior pattern, and with positive emotions and so on.
If you have never practiced yoga before, this yoga challenge will provide just the right platform to get introduced to all aspects of yoga.
If you are a seasoned practitioner, this course will give you a new perspective on yoga and life. It will be of immense value to you if you have practiced yoga before but due to lack of self-motivation and discipline are unable to maintain a regular practice. This course will act like a ‘booster shot’ for your ailing practice. You just have to take that initial bold step and sign up so you can make use of this excellent opportunity.
