About ISHTA Yoga

ISHTA Yoga is more of an approach than a yoga style. It is an approach to practice yoga based on a holistic perspective that combines philosophy, asana and lifestyle - aligning with the needs of the individual. ”ISHTA” means individual, and Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra & Ayurveda. Understanding more about these three sciences, we can develop and adjust yoga based on our needs.

Hatha, Tantra & Ayurveda

Hatha is the physical part of ISHTA yoga, the poses that vitalize and strengthens the physical body. Tantra is the philosophical part focusing on expanding our conscious and explore the subtle aspects. Ayurveda is the third part of ISHTA yoga and is a healing system originating in India and focusing on balancing our constitution to bring us to optimal health and well-being.

How does ISHTA Yoga work?

Like other yoga styles, there are no particular ISHTA poses. Instead, many of the positions are similar to poses in other yoga styles. You’ll learn the traditional Hatha yoga poses, pinciples, mantras, chakras, tantra and techniques to find the right balance with Ayurveda. You’ll learn how to adjust the yoga practice based on what you and your body needs.
