Yogveda Kriya:
The 45-Minute Foundation for Safe Yoga

More Than Just a Warm-Up 

​

At most studios, the "warm-up" is 5 minutes of cat-cow. At Yogveda Yoga Bern, it is a 45-minute proprietary system.

Every 90-minute class begins with the Yogveda Kriya—a specific flow of 23+ Asanas designed by Master Shahid Khan. It ensures that when you start your deeper practice, your body is not just "warm," but fully activated, lubricated, and safe.

​

What is the Yogveda Kriya? 

The Yogveda Kriya is a systematic journey through the body. Performed on both sides, it addresses every major muscle group and joint complex to remove stiffness accumulated from daily life.

​

The 3 Stages of the Kriya

1. Joints & Mobility (The Lubrication): We use rotations and twists to stimulate synovial fluid in the ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders. This drastically reduces injury risk and improves long-term mobility.

2. Full-Body Release (The Stiffness Cure): Targeted movements for the back, legs, and hips release the tension of sedentary work/lifestyle before we attempt difficult poses.

3. The Eye Series (Unique Feature): Unlike other systems, we train the eye muscles. These exercises increase light intake to the brain, enhancing focus, concentration, and mental clarity ("Netra Vyayam").

​

Why You Need This 45-Minute Prep 

Starting a deep practice with a cold or stiff body is the #1 cause of yoga injuries.

• Safety First: The Kriya ensures your body is biomechanically ready for load.

• Deeper Access: You can go deeper into Asanas because the resistance is removed first.

• Meditative State: The rhythmic nature of the Kriya quiets the mind before the main practice begins.
