Youth and young adults

Ages 15 to 25

Unleash your potential

Most know yoga empowers you physically, but not many are aware of its potential to uncage the divine within. It calms the mind and emotions too. You can become alert and aware of the present moment. Ready for whatever comes your way!

You’re stressed – you’ve got a challenging exam or friend or relationship issues. Amrita Yoga has tools to relax the body and mind and balance your emotions. The body and mind will work for you rather than you working for them! As a result, you can focus and concentrate on your goals. You learn how to be happy and efficient instead of wasting time worrying or losing sleep.

In today’s complex and crazy world, Amrita Yoga puts the fast forward on pause while you navigate the universe. You learn how to stay true to your values and use your unique abilities to help others. As a result, you become someone who gives to the world instead of just taking from the world. You become a kingmaker rather than a lowly taker.

Become calm and flexible

Amrita Yoga workshops offer a unique approach to yoga postures using skillful awareness. Awareness is a tool for life. This practice will make your body healthy and limber and your mind calm and flexible. The latter will open the gates to your creativity and inner knowing. With this newfound awareness, you will resolve challenges efficiently.

In addition to workshops at the Amritapuri ashram in Kerala, South India, we teach Amrita Yoga at schools, universities, and community centers throughout India and around the world. The ashram is home to spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi, known to millions simply as Amma. She is the source and inspiration for Amrita Yoga. At Amritapuri, you will experience the living tradition of yoga. Become a part of the exciting community of global youth today!

Description of classes

We have designed our classes to challenge and relax you simultaneously.

True yoga goes beyond physical postures. It is the practice of life—how to find and follow the path to reach your highest potential. Humanity faces the urgent need as never before to recover its soul and save the planet. It will be today’s youth who either clean up or get wiped out by tomorrow’s aftermath, so we’d better do what we can. We offer workshops on how to tackle the challenges. We empower you with the practical skills to deal with life. Each workshop and class is unique and tailored to the needs of the group.

“Yoga is beneficial for our health, physical beauty, and mental discipline. It helps reduce our cholesterol and helps maintain cardiac health. It increases our bone strength. This is especially important as the incidence of arthritis and osteoporosis is on a steep rise. It even helps improve our memory power.”

“Yoga creates powerful spiritual vibrations. These vibrations affect us positively, as well as others. It is like entering a perfume factory. Even after emerging, the sweet fragrance will remain on our bodies, pleasing both others and us. When we perform yoga with complete awareness, it purifies every cell in our body.”
