Free Angamardana Taster Session

Join us for a free 90-minute introductory session to experience Angamardana, offered on the occasion of the International Day of Yoga.
About this Event

Angamardana is a powerful yogic fitness system rooted in the ancient science of Hatha Yoga. The word “Angamardana” means gaining mastery over the limbs and body. In practical terms, it is a complete system of movement that uses your own body weight, breath, and momentum to build strength, flexibility, balance, and vitality.

This free session is designed to give you a taste of the practice and help you experience how classical yoga can support the body in a very practical, grounded way. It is not just about stretching or exercise. Angamardana works with the body as a whole, supporting the muscles, spine, joints, skeletal system, circulation, nervous system, and overall energy.

You do not need to be flexible, fit, or experienced in yoga to attend. This session is beginner-friendly and suitable for those who are curious about yogic fitness, classical Hatha Yoga, or simply looking for a natural way to strengthen and energise the body.

During the session, you will be introduced to the essence of Angamardana and guided through a sample experience of the practice. You will also learn how the full Angamardana program can become a lifelong 25-minute daily practice requiring no equipment and only a small 2x2m space.

What the practice supports:

• Physical strength and mobility
• Flexibility, balance, and coordination
• A stronger connection with the body
• A sense of energy and lightness
• Greater stability and focus
• A first step into classical Hatha Yoga

Who it's for:
