Antar Jyoti Uttana: Fold Into Your Inner Light

At our yoga studio, we are of the opinion that every individual’s yoga journey begins with a distinctive, personal transformation. Antar Jyoti Uttana or “rising toward your inner light” is a practice designed to help you uncover this perfect inner gem that you possess. If you are new to yoga or are aiming to advance your practice with our yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, this approach will lead you to self-discovery and tranquility on a deep, profound level. 

We have designed this practice incorporating asanas and breathing exercises that are targeted toward the heart and solar plexus chakras. Practitioners have observed the moderate paced flow of Antar Jyoti Uttana helps release emotional anchors from the body held due to stress in a large portion of the body devoid of space. With our years of experience in teaching, we know folding inward to connect with your inner light in today’s world is exceptionally difficult due to its frantic nature. Hence, we guide you toward basic stretches that help you breathe life into your core while aiding a shield-like posture over the body physically. This juxtaposed motion—folding to expand—is profoundly enlightening and the reason why this method is effective for all students, regardless of skill level.

In your yoga journey, we appreciate personalization as a critical aspect. In Antar Jyoti Uttana sessions, from choosing the proper sequence to adapting postures for your body’s biomechanics, we strive to enhance your awareness in every session. 

For students who want to work on emotional healing, we offer deeper breathing practices with longer pauses. These have a strengthening effect on flexibility, as well as a calming effect which paves the way for deeper internal exploration. Several of our graduates from the 200 hour yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh describe the sensation of warmth radiating from their core after only two or three sessions, which is a sign of their inner light becoming more radiant. 

We place great emphasis on holistic yoga, which is why all of our Antar Jyoti Uttana sequences include meditation, pranayama, and mindfulness that goes hand-in-hand with the asanas and deepens the mind-body synergy. For students needing gentler methods, we offer seated practices or those supported by props. These approaches still nurture the inner light but meet varying physical demands and energy levels.

Numerous spiritual teachings tell us that the journey to self-realization is the process of revealing the light that is hidden within. Our Antar Jyoti Uttana practice does not merely accept this fact; it offers a pragmatic, lived way to engage with it fully through your practice. 

As a reliable instructor on your yoga path, we have walked alongside students from different cultures and backgrounds and witnessed remarkable change through this approach. Our 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh provides a unique backdrop for this personal journey, as the sacred setting of the Ganges River and the foothills of the Himalayas is particularly nourishing for one's inner development.
