A Yogic Toolkit
for optimal health and wellbeing!
Yogrishi Vishvketu shares five tools from South Asian teachings that you can easily practice at home to stay relaxed, uplifted and well: cleansing, posture, breathing, relaxation/meditation and special foods. In six videos, Yogrishi explains how these tools work and guides you in these essential practices for optimal health and wellbeing.
Yogrishi Vishvketu
Himalayan Yoga Master and founder of Akhanda Yoga, Yogrishi Vishvketu (PhD) has studied and taught Yoga for over 40 years. Yogrishi grew up gathering and processing herbs at a Vedic school and its attached Ayurvedic pharmacy in northern India. He often says that Yoga begins in your kitchen, and everything we bring into the body. Breath work is threaded throughout his posture sequences that culminate in deeply restorative relaxation and meditation practices. Join him for six mini-workshops on these core immune and respiratory system boosters from the whole of what Yoga has to offer.
Step 1
Yogic Throat and Nasal Cleansing
In this first-step video, Yogrishi teaches how to use a simple herbal saline solution to gargle and do yogic nasal cleansing to help remove and prevent germs in the oral and nasal passages. So simple and yet so effective! (Please note these techniques are additional supports. Please follow all physical distancing orders needed at this time)
Step 2
Yoga Postures for an Immune Boost
In this second-step video, Yogrishi guides you through a series of simple postures and oscillating movements focussed around the lungs as well as balancing the hormones and giving your whole system a boost. Daily movement is so beneficial, yoga movement helps to flush out the old and bring in fresh oxygen and energy.
Step 3
Clear, Charge and Soothe Your Respiratory System
You'll feel the benefits of step three right away as breath work is so powerful. This video is to help to strengthen your respiratory system through breath work – Shining skull breath to detoxify, Bellows and progressive breath retention to build capacity and a quiet integration at the end.
Step 4
Meditation & Relaxation
Yoga Nidra is the practice of rest – a deep, restorative rest that helps to unwind subtle blockages like fear and anger by allowing your mind time to release. Rest is also key in shifting the body from 'fight and flight' mode to 'rest, digest and repair'.
Meditation is an excellent way to take time each day for physical, mental and emotional rest. This guided program helps you to move slowly and steadily into meditation and experience profound peace.
Step 5
Healing Foods
Step five is filling our diet with special healing foods as well as understanding the foods that are easy to digest and build our vitality. In this video, Yogrishi presents a whole tray of household herbs and why they are beneficial.
