Core Control: The Practice of Agni Sara

Your digestive fire, or agni, is the foundation on which good health is built. Practiced regularly, agni sara burns excess abdominal fat, increases metabolism, tones core muscles, improves circulation to internal organs, strengthens pelvic region, improves elimination, promotes reproductive health, exercises the diaphragm, massages the heart and lungs, increases energy, and elevates mood. Agni Sara practice builds core strength from the inside out and provides the foundation for the deepest abdominal work possible—nauli kriya. The ancient yoga texts say agni sara cures all digestive illnesses and that if you have time for only one yoga practice each day, choose agni sara. Contraindications-- pregnancy, heart, nervous system, or respiratory ailments, glaucoma, hiatal hernia, or ulcers of the stomach or intestines.

A dosha-specific practice not only benefits physical health, it lays the proper foundation to actualize our entire human potential.

A proven technique that reduces tension and dramatically alters the affects of stress in daily life, yogic relaxation deepens the breath, slows the heart rate, reduces blood pressure, increases circulation, and greatly diminishes anxiety, frustration, and anger. In this workshop, you’ll learn four different techniques and acquire the ability to relax your body, rejuvenate your mind and restore your energy.
