Virya Yoga’s Series
Virya yoga presents about 600 different poses (asanas) in ready-made series, with each series always consisting of 10 modules. (Learn more about the modules here.) Options are shown for every pose so that you never need to go beyond your limitations, thereby avoiding any risk of injury.
The Fundamental Series
Each of Virya Yoga’s three fundamental series include between 65-85 asanas (depending on the level). The different levels complement each other, so that while practicing level one you are in fact already preparing for the poses in level three.
Level One
The asanas in level one are intended to both strengthen and lengthen your muscles. While the poses are not too complicated, you still get a vigorous workout that you will probably notice in your muscles the following day!
Level Two
Here we build upon the foundation formed in the first level. In level two, we explore a number of stimulating arm balances, backbends, and deeper forward folds.
Level Three
In level three, even the more experienced yogi is given something to sink his or her teeth into! We go deeper into the poses, challenging both body and mind, without ever losing our sense of playfulness.
Specific Series
In Virya yoga there are also a number of series created to suit specific needs. Whether you’re a student, or a teacher, you can combine different modules from different series in order to create a unique class depending on your needs.
The ready-made series, based upon the same module system where each asana has an easier alternative, are as follows:
Virya Vinyasa
Virya vinyasa is developed for those who want a dynamic workout and enjoy the powerful pulse of vinyasas. Participants should be comfortable with the biomechanics of the poses, as all Virya Vinyasa classes are taught as flow classes.
Virya Yoga for Pregnancy
Virya for Pregnancy, developed by Nurse Hanne Fjellvang and Naprapaths Malin Flinck and Charlotte Löfvenmark, consists of two separate programs. The first program is suitable for those who have practiced yoga and/or have followed some other form of exercise routine, as well as those in their first or second trimesters. The second program is adapted to the later stages of pregnancy and/or to those who are new to yoga or physical exercise.
Therapeutic Virya Yoga
Physiotherapeutic Virya Yoga is suitable for persons who have specific, individual needs due prior injury, work-, and/or life situations. This even includes those wishing to learn a healthy yoga technique from square one.
