What is Surya Kriya?
"Surya" means Sun, and "Kriya" means inner energy process. Surya Kriya is a potent 21-step yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, offered in its original, unadulterated form as a complete spiritual process.
Traditionally kept as a closely guarded secret, it involves specific breathwork, precise physical geometry, and a powerful activation of the solar plexus (Samat Prana) to raise the inner solar energy. Designed by Sadhguru, it is a low-to-medium intensity practice that requires no prior experience and provides a lifelong tool for home practice.
"Surya Kriya is not just a physical exercise; it is a way of tuning yourself to the cosmic energy cycle, bringing balance to your system, and making you receptive to higher dimensions of life."

Ramy
Founder & Yoga Teacher
Ramy Zach has been involved in fitness and sport his whole life. He moved from Czechia to Australia at twenty-one, trained as a personal trainer, and has coached clients for close to twenty years.
His path took a deeper turn when he began a committed yoga and meditation practice under Sadhguru. He went on to volunteer for four years at Sadhguru's ashram in India, where he received his yoga certification in the classical tradition we teach today.
My husband and I recently completed the weekend classical yoga program, Surya Kriya. The teaching was thorough and grounded in authenticity. It is rare to find such integrity with modern day yoga practices. Highly recommend if you are after the original yoga sun invocation. Thanks Ramy.
