Eastern philosophy tells us that the entire Universe is made from the five elements - Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ether and that we are also created from these five great elements. If any of the elements are in a state of imbalance within us, they will create disease and disharmony in our body and mind.

The Atma Kriya techniques have the capability of correcting the imbalances of the five elements and creating perfect physical and mental health. The techniques work on purifying different aspects of the physical, mental and energetic layers of our being. Through this cleaning and purification process, we slowly connect with the truth of our inner being - the Atma.

Physical health benefits

When the mind, body and spirit are harmonised and the five elements in equilibrium, we can lead a healthy, balanced and happier life. A healthy, balanced lifestyle together with regular Atma Kriya practice can prevent physical illnesses, mental negativity and energetic imbalances from occurring in the body.

Atma Kriya is a holistic yoga and meditation practice that has the power to give complete physical, mental and spiritual well being. Atma Kriya can also help stabilise hormones in the body and counteract symptoms of anxiety and anger.

Many of our students who practice our Sun Salutation tell us that their posture is improved by regular practice and that they have more energy. The Atma Kriya breathing practices also help to boost the immune system and clear toxins from the body.

Mental health benefits

Eastern medicine sees the mind, body and soul as being interconnected. This means that if the body becomes out of balance, then our mind and our spirit will also become out of balance over time.

Having a healthy diet, a moderate amount sleep and practicing Atma Kriya regularly has the power to balance mental energy, create positive emotions and gives us the ability to step back from our agitated mind.

Regular Atma Kriya practice helps to generate a strong and positive mental state. It has the power to help us overcome the challenges of material and spiritual life. Many students experience greater mental resilience to difficult situations as a result of daily practice and feel permanently calm and centred within.
