Blog Tag: Universal Yoga
Universal Yoga was created by Ukrainian yoga master Andrey Lappa, a comprehensive practice system integrating multiple traditions. It draws from Ashtanga, Iyengar, martial arts, and dance, using Mandala concepts to sequence poses, ensuring balanced development in all body directions.
This practice emphasizes movement in "eight directions" — forward bends, backbends, side bends, twists, and their combinations. Through this all-around training, practitioners discover and improve body imbalances, developing neglected ranges of motion. Many find their posture and movement quality noticeably improved after practicing Universal Yoga.
Universal Yoga suits yoga enthusiasts with some foundation seeking deeper practice. Classes typically have higher pace and intensity, challenging strength, flexibility, and coordination. If you've practiced yoga for a while and want to break through plateaus and explore new possibilities, Universal Yoga offers a fresh perspective.
