Many people come to yoga through āsana.
Some stay there.

At Pranava Yogashala, we treat āsana and prāṇāyāma as they were always meant to be —
a preparation.

Preparation of the body.
Preparation of attention.
Preparation of the nervous system.

In our Online Sharira Sādhana, we begin by working carefully with joints, breath, alignment, and effort — not to perfect poses, but to make the body steady and receptive. From there, the practice naturally opens into prāṇāyāma, restorative work, and the early stages of pratyāhāra.

This is why our sessions are taught in small groups, and why the practice unfolds in two stages:

Pravesha — to orient and prepare the body
Prayatna — to refine, sustain, and deepen practice

When the body is prepared, the inner limbs are no longer distant ideas.
They become accessible through practice.

If you are looking for an online space where yoga is taught as sādhanā —
and not just movement —
we’d be glad to practice with you.

Pratyusha — Second Cycle Announcement
Ritu Sandhi Sankalpa Sādhana

Over the last Ritu Sandhi, a small group of committed practitioners completed the first cycle of Pratyusha — a 14-day inner Sādhana rooted in Prāṇāyāma, Pratyāhāra, Dhāraṇā, Dhyāna, and Sankalpa, aligned consciously with the seasonal transition.

Pratyusha is not a program built around āsana.

It is a disciplined inward journey, designed for those who feel ready to move beyond movement and technique, and explore Yoga in its subtler, traditional dimensions.

The second cycle of Pratyusha will be offered during the next Ritu Sandhi, traditionally considered an auspicious window for deeper Yogic work.

What defines Pratyusha:
• Daily early-morning practice (Brahma Muhurta)
• A clear inner progression from prāṇa → senses → attention → stillness
• Practices drawn from classical Yogic frameworks, not modern improvisation
• Sankalpa approached as direction of being, not goal or affirmation
• Silence, continuity, and sincerity as non-negotiables

This Sādhana is for:
• Serious practitioners and yoga teachers
• Those who feel a plateau at the level of āsana or basic prāṇāyāma
• Those drawn to inner limbs of Yoga but seeking clarity and structure

This is not for:
• Casual or drop-in practice
• Those seeking quick results or constant stimulation
• Anyone unwilling to sit with silence and discipline

Dm for Details regarding registration.

Those who feel genuinely called are welcome to reach out for clarity before enrolling.

Pratyusha is not something to rush into.
If it resonates, it will return to you at the right time.

Prāṇāyāma is not just breathing.
It is an inner science — a way of understanding and refining life force.

This immersion is an invitation to slow down, look deeper, and move beyond mechanical practice into clarity, awareness, and lived experience.

It is not only for yoga teachers.
There is no pressure to perform, teach, or certify.
This journey is for anyone who feels called to understand how breath works — physiologically, energetically, and inwardly.

Rooted in Siddha & Yogic wisdom, and supported by modern anatomy and neuroscience, this immersion brings together practice, science, and sādhana — without dilution.

If Prāṇāyāma has ever made you pause,
this may be the right time to listen.

🕉️ Prāṇāyāma Sādhana & Science
📅 Starts: 2nd February 2026
🕡 Time: 6:30 AM IST | Live on Zoom

No labels. No pressure.
Just learning and sādhana.

🌅 Pratyusha begins tomorrow — Ritu Sandhi Sankalpa Sādhanā

Not a class.
Not a course.
Not a challenge.

It is a quiet, early morning inward turning—
held in the most sensitive time of nature and the Self — Ritu Sandhi,
where one season dissolves, and another quietly begins.

Here, we don’t do much.
We simply hold — breath, attention, and one sincere Sankalpa.

No asana. No recordings. No makeup sessions.
Only presence, discipline, stillness — and inner alignment.

Sādhanā never calls everyone.
It calls only those who are ready.

If something in you feels called — you’re welcome to join.
We begin at dawn tomorrow. 🕔

Manifestation isn’t about forcing reality — it’s about tuning yourself to the frequency of what you seek.
The Upanishads say that everything in existence is nāda — vibration.

When your intention, identity, action and surrender align into one vibration…
Reality has no choice but to rearrange around you.

You don’t chase — you attract.
You don’t struggle — you resonate.
You don’t manifest from lack — you manifest from inner alignment.

When your inner field becomes clear, steady and elevated,
the right people, opportunities and experiences begin to find you — effortlessly.

Because in the end, manifestation is not a trick.
It is a state of being.
A state the rishis mastered long before modern language existed for it.

And this alignment is not born through desire, thinking or wishing.
It happens when you create space — breathe, withdraw, anchor and become still enough for the inner field to realign.

That is why ancient tradition chose the Ritu Sandhi —
the sacred 14-day window between seasons —
as the time to sit, reset and plant Sankalpa.

Not through mental repetition,
but through energetic alignment.

🪷 Pratyusha – Ritu Sandhi Sankalpa Sādhanā
1st–14th December · 5–6 AM IST
A dawn Sādhanā to tune the inner frequency
before stepping into the next season.

Tune the vibration → Let life rearrange.

Swipe to understand what Ritu Sandhi truly means 🌿

Most of us live within seasons…
but Ayurveda teaches that the most sensitive, transformative time is actually the in–between —
the 14 days where one season fades and the next quietly begins.
That space is called Ritu Sandhi — the seasonal junction.

It is nature’s invitation to pause, slow down, listen within, release and realign — so we step into the next season with clarity, immunity, and intention rather than imbalance.

✨ In Yoga, this inner transition is guided through
Prāṇāyāma · Pratyāhāra · Dhāraṇā · Dhyāna
…allowing Sankalpa (intention) to take root silently as we transition.

This is the very foundation of Pratyusha — Ritu Sandhi Sankalpa Sādhanā,
a 14-day dawn Sādhanā happening from 1st to 14th December · 5–6 AM
for serious practitioners wanting to work inside-out — not through information, but through discipline, silence, and Sankalpa-held awareness.

Full details in the next post 🌅

🍂 When one season fades and another quietly begins — nature does not rush.
It releases, it remembers, it prepares.
This silent crossing is called Ritu Sandhi — the 14-day junction between two seasons.

In this Sharad → Hemanta transition, we
✨ Release the heat and agitation of Pitta (autumn)
✨ Prepare the body-mind for the stability of Kapha & the subtlety of Vata (early winter)
✨ Cultivate warmth, immunity, grounding, emotional steadiness and inner silence

And Yoga gives us the tools to do it consciously —
not through effort, but through refinement of breath, sensory withdrawal, single-pointed focus and silent absorption.

Prayatna 3.0 is evolving, and so are we!

Grateful for the student feedback, the energy you bring to class, and the way we’re all growing together.
This phase introduces new movements, compound strength routines, and evolving Vinyasa flows — shaping the future of our steady practice.

Here’s a glimpse into our journey so far ✨

My grandfather lived for 99 years, almost a century of wisdom, discipline, and simplicity.

He was a retired school teacher, a Vedic priest, and a yogi in his own right. He lived by mithaahara—moderation in food—and strict discipline. Waking every day at 4:30 am, he began his rituals before the world stirred.

Unlike many of his generation, he was never admitted to a hospital until the last two months of his life. He had no hypertension, diabetes, or “common” diseases we now almost accept as normal. Looking back, I see how his invisible discipline—what he ate, when he rested, how he lived—was his real medicine.

For me, he was my first Veda teacher. At age 8, I began learning from him, and he patiently sowed the seeds that would later anchor me back to my roots—away from the chaos of the IT world, toward the Vedic traditions and yogic knowledge I now carry forward.

In his last month, he chose his path with quiet dignity. Doctors themselves called it iccha marana—a conscious departure. He slowly withdrew from food, from speech, and eventually from life itself. On the 23rd, with all of us around his bedside, I witnessed his final breath.

The past days have been filled with remembrance and rituals. In our tradition, the 13 days after death are not only to guide the soul onward but to anchor the grieving family. They have given me rhythm and meaning as I navigated the ache of loss.

I owe much of who I am today to him. His discipline, his values, and his love for tradition will continue to guide me, and I hope to pass forward a part of his legacy through my work.

May his soul find peace. May we live with the same grace and simplicity that defined his long, beautiful life.

Om Shanti 🙏

Today, yoga is practiced in every corner of the world — from small home studios to international festivals, from therapeutic settings to universities. Millions turn to yoga for health, balance, and inner growth. 🌍🧘

But this global flourishing didn’t begin overnight. It began with a voice that rose on 11th September, 1893, in Chicago. Swami Vivekananda’s opening words — “Sisters and Brothers of America” — carried not just warmth, but the essence of Yoga and Vedanta to the West for the very first time.

That historic moment laid the foundation for what we see today: yoga teachers and practitioners everywhere, carrying forward a tradition of harmony, self-realization, and unity. 🙏

We owe gratitude to Swami Vivekananda — the torchbearer who lit the path for yoga’s journey beyond India.
