Upa-yoga is a simple yet powerful system of exercises that activate the joints, muscles, and energy system. Based on a sophisticated understanding of the body's mechanics, Upa-yoga provides great relief to the entire system. It relieves physical stress and fatigue. Upa Yoga is a good starting point for anyone new to yoga and can be used as a preparation for other yoga practices.
Within the human system, energy flows through 72,000 channels called nadis. Nadis meet at the joints and form knots, thus functioning as an energy reservoir. Upa-yoga activates this energy and lubricates the joints, providing an immediate feeling of alertness and liveliness. Upa-yoga essentially means "sub-yoga" or "preparatory yoga." Due to its many immediate and obvious benefits, the term Upa-yoga is commonly used in Indian languages to mean "useful."
