You’re attending a yoga class after a long workday in Dubai. You stretch, you breathe, you move through the poses—and yet something feels… incomplete. You leave feeling physically better, but that deeper sense of calm or clarity still seems just out of reach. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
This is exactly what inspired us to create Asana & Beyond, one of Pratimoksha’s signature programs. It’s yoga—but deeper, richer, and more transformative.
Beyond the Pose: What ‘Asana & Beyond’ Really Means
In Sanskrit, Asana means “seat” or posture. But in the broader yogic tradition, asanas are just one limb of the eight-fold path of yoga. They prepare the body for something far more meaningful: inner stillness, balance, and self-awareness.
Asana & Beyond is designed for those who want more than a workout. It’s for anyone seeking a practice that integrates physical movement with breath, energy awareness, and subtle body alignment.
Why Traditional Yoga Isn’t Always Enough
In many commercial yoga classes across Dubai, the focus tends to be on flexibility, flow, or fitness. These are beneficial, yes—but yoga was never meant to stop at the physical body.
Our students often say: “I want to understand what’s behind the poses.” Or, “I’m flexible but still feel stressed.”
That’s where Asana & Beyond comes in.
What Makes ‘Asana & Beyond’ Unique
Under the guidance of Lalitha Viswanath and our experienced instructors, the sessions go deeper into:
- Alignment: Subtle muscular and energetic alignment that enhances each pose’s effect on the organs and nervous system.
- Breath Integration: Using pranayama within asana to expand energy and mental clarity.
- Awareness: Mindful transitions and attention to sensation, breath, and thought.
- Philosophical Insight: Brief, practical reflections on the yogic roots of what you practice on the mat.
This integrated approach transforms the experience from physical movement to a complete mind-body reset.
Who Is This Program For?
Asana & Beyond is ideal for:
- Long-time yoga students ready to deepen their practice
- Beginners curious about the “why” behind poses
- Professionals seeking clarity and calm through body-mind integration
- Anyone feeling stuck in a purely physical routine
Whether you’re a busy executive, a teacher, or a parent juggling multiple roles, this program is a safe space to tune in and recharge.
What Happens in a Session?
Each session blends:
- Grounding movement to awaken the spine
- Targeted asanas held with breath awareness
- Breathwork interwoven throughout the flow
- A short guided reflection or philosophy-based meditation
Expect to leave not just stretched, but steady, clear, and connected.
Why It Resonates So Well in Dubai
Dubai’s energy is ambitious, driven, and outward-facing. But inward reflection often gets left behind.
Asana & Beyond offers balance. It helps you slow down, feel more, and reconnect with your inner compass—without needing to retreat from your life. Just one or two sessions a week can shift how you show up in everything else.
Begin Your Journey Beyond the Pose
You don’t need to be advanced. You just need to be curious.
