Reclaim Your Center in a Shifting World
In an age of overstimulation and constant movement, the ability to ground yourself has become more vital than ever. The GROUNDING workshop by Yadu Yoga invites you into a sacred 2-hour experience that harmonizes āsana, Vinyāsa Krama sequencing, and the subtle activation of marma points—the energetic keys to balance and inner calm.
Instead of moving quickly from posture to posture, this practice guides you into slow, purposeful movement, rooted in the breath and aligned with the ancient rhythms of traditional yoga.

The Power of Grounding Through Yoga
Grounding is not merely a physical experience. It is the energetic descent of awareness into the lower limbs, hips, and base of the spine—the foundation of both movement and stillness. By focusing on this foundational energy, the practitioner stabilizes their emotions, regulates the nervous system, and cultivates mental clarity.
At the heart of this workshop lies the wisdom of marma therapy, a traditional Indian system that recognizes vital energy points throughout the body. During the session, specific lower body marmas—like gulpha (ankles), jānu (knees), and ūru (thighs)—are gently stimulated through āsana and breathwork. These points are essential for activating grounding prāṇa and supporting the mūlādhāra cakra, the root of our energetic being.
What Makes This Yadu Yoga Workshop Unique?
Unlike generic yoga classes, Yadu Yoga honors the original teachings of Śrī T. Kr̥ṣṇamācārya, where Vinyāsa Krama (intelligent sequencing) is not a style—it is a method of transformation. In this workshop, each posture builds progressively to establish physical stability, prāṇic integrity, and mental stillness.
You won’t be rushing.
You’ll be arriving—again and again—into the anchor of your own breath.
What to Expect in the Workshop
Opening: Invocation & Intention
We begin with a short prayer and mantra to invoke inner steadiness. A guided sankalpa (intention) links the body and mind to the Earth elementYou’ll be arriving—again and again—into the anchor of your own breath.
Movement: Grounded Vinyāsa Krama Practice
A flowing sequence of standing, seated, and forward-folding āsanas designed to direct energy downward and inward. Transitions are breath-linked, deliberate, and steady. You’ll move through:
- Tāḍāsana and Vīrabhadrāsana for upright strength
- Utkaṭāsana, Jānu Śīrṣāsana, and Paścimottānāsana to release tension in the legs and hips
- Supine and prone poses to support grounded stillness and surrender
Movement: Grounded Vinyāsa Krama Practice
We integrate gentle touch, breath retention, and visualization to activate key marma points in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back. You’ll learn how each point governs a subtle psychological function related to security, stability, and self-trust.
Movement: Grounded Vinyāsa Krama Practice
Slow, balancing breathing techniques like nādī śodhana, combined with mūla bandha, help anchor the mind. You’ll feel yourself becoming heavier, more silent, and centered—without tension.
Closing: Śavāsana & Root-Centered Meditation
The practice concludes in deep rest. You’ll be guided through a body scan and visualization focusing on the Earth element and the mūlādhāra cakra, leaving you grounded and fully present.
