About This Practice
Upa-Yoga is a simple yet powerful set of practices that activate the joints, muscles, and energy system, bringing ease to the whole system. It is a good starting point for those who are new to yoga, and it can be used as a preparation for other yoga practices. Based on a sophisticated understanding of the body's mechanics, Upa-Yoga dispels inertia in the body's energy and brings about a state of balance. The word 'Upa' means 'sub' or 'pre'. Hence, Upa-Yoga is a preparatory practice for yoga.
