Angamardana, a fitness system rooted in yoga, offers everyone the opportunity to invigorate the body and reach peak physical and mental health. “Angamardana” means gaining complete mastery over the limbs, organs, and other parts of the body. True to its name, this practice revitalizes the body on all levels including the muscles, circulatory system, skeletal structure, nervous system, and the basic energy system.

With exercises carefully selected by Sadhguru to be of universal appeal and application, Angamardana needs no fitness equipment. It uses only the body and can be practised anywhere, even during travel. In Angamardana, you use your own body weight and momentum to increase the flexibility of the muscle over a period of time.

It is just a twenty-five minute process as it is being taught today by us, and in terms of health and wellbeing it can do miracles. It is a phenomenal process and is so complete. All you need is a six-by-six space; your body is everything. So, wherever you are you can do it. It is as effective in building the body as any weight training is, and it does not create any unnecessary stress on the system.

Class Guidelines

Arrive 10-30 minutes before the class starts. For your safety, you may not be able to join a session once it commences.
Observe silence when you come into the studio and until the class begins. It is a time to move out of your world of thoughts and come into the present moment and connect with yourself.
If you need support for your ankles or head or anything else, please bring a large towel or blanket with you.
Be mindful of the effect of strong perfumes on your fellow students.
Remove watches and noisy jewelry.
Leave handbags and personal belongings that are not required during the class at the back of the class or in your car.
If you have any injuries or are pregnant, please inform the teacher before the class begins. Many injuries can be accommodated if the teacher is aware of them.
If you are ill, have a cold or fever, please contact the teacher and your doctor before attending the class.
