“Upa-yoga is start-up yoga. It is best for casual practitioners seeking higher levels of physical and psychological wellbeing.” – Sadhguru

Upa-yoga is a simple yet powerful set of 10 practices that activate the joints, muscles and energy system, bringing ease to the whole system. Upa-yoga essentially means “sub-yoga” or “pre-yoga”. Because of its many immediate and evident benefits, the word Upa Yoga in Indian languages is commonly used to denote “usefulness.”
