Amrita Yoga

Aligned | Committed | Intentional | Global | Flow

Yoga upholds the unity that transcends creed, and ahimsa (non-violence) towards all beings.
—Amma

Amrita Yoga for adults

Amrita Yoga is open to all levels of practitioners.  Inspired and guided by Amma, our yoga practices are not just about technique but heart-centered awareness.  After an Amrita Yoga experience, practitioners feel more peace, contentment, compassion, and creativity.

Amrita Yoga is offered to a diverse range of abilities and interests in yoga. Those already practicing asana and looking for intermediate instruction can find a good match with our Intermediate options.

In Amritapuri, these classes are taught in English and, depending on the availability of local translators, may also be available with a live translator for your language.

Perfection in asanas is not our goal. Instead, the asana practice is a tool for connecting with the inner self. Amrita Yoga is an inside-out approach, with the breath and MA OM mantras forming the foundation for transformation.  Participants gain practical strategies to develop their yoga and meditation skills and how to be of service to the world. Participants comment that the class was an unforgettable experience.

We offer Sadhana Retreats, Specialty Retreats, Online classes, Private sessions and Holistic Health workshops.

“It’s impossible to control the changes in the world, but at the same time it’s important to strengthen the mind and especially the heart, as well as to develop discipline and moderation in all areas of life. Indian ancient ideals of self-sacrifice, reverence for everything and to seek happiness from within should be kept alive.” – Pranav Kumar, Telangana, India

“Integrating yogasanas with values like acceptance, patience, unity and compassion, along with the help of Veda mantras, mudras and visualization, was a powerful experience. In that gentle, loving space we created, letting go became a beautiful dance.” – Pushpa, Finland

“The Amrita Yoga classes provide much more than the hatha yoga classes typically found in western yoga studios. A whole new definition of yoga opened up for me with the very first class. I began to understand what the yoga sutras were teaching and that the postures are only one arm of the yoga experience.” – Dinesh Lent, USA
