Amrita Yoga — meditation at Amritapuri

Amrita Yoga

Body

Amrita Yoga is an inside-out approach: the postures are not just about technique. Heart-centered awareness, breath, and mantra carry us beyond the postures into stillness and our own innate silence — the foundation for real transformation and a harmonious life.

Practitioners find greater health and vitality, peace, compassion, and creativity. Certified Amrita Yoga teachers offer retreats, workshops, and regular classes — online and on site — at Amma’s centers around the world.

Yoga is the means of awakening the infinite strength within, by training the body, mind, and intellect properly, and of realizing one’s full potential.

In a 2-day Amrita Yoga retreat, I was able to benefit with such a depth of peace. If I practice it daily, it will surely take away my stress and I will be able to lead a peaceful life.
