The Arc

Workshop structure

A focused weekend structured around progressive breakdowns, hands-on adjustments and time to integrate the work between sessions.

  1. 01

    Assessment & Intention

    We begin with a gentle assessment of shoulders, thoracic spine and hips, and set a personal intention for the weekend.

  2. 02

    Front-body Opening

    Progressive sequencing to release the psoas, quadriceps and pectorals—preparing the body to receive deeper backbends safely.

  3. 03

    Backbend Lab

    Step-by-step breakdowns of Ustrāsana, Dhanurāsana, Urdhva Dhanurāsana and Kapotāsana with hands-on adjustments.

  4. 04

    Counter-poses & Recovery

    Forward folds, twists and restorative shapes to neutralise the spine and integrate the work of the day.

  5. 05

    Prāṇāyāma for the Chest

    Breath work that opens the ribcage and steadies the heart rate—essential support for a sustained backbend practice.

  6. 06

    Q&A and Home Practice

    A closing circle with practical guidance for continuing the practice safely once you return home.

What sets this apart

The Samyama difference

Practice the Sutras Through Experience

Yoga philosophy is lived on the mat, not merely studied.

Internalization Before Complexity

Awareness develops before advanced postures.

A Science of Progressive Sequencing

Every class builds systematically on the previous one.

Breath as the Foundation of Movement

Every transition originates from conscious breathing.

Precision Through Individual Guidance

Personal observation and adjustments refine every practitioner.

From Student to Independent Practitioner

The course is designed to make you self-reliant, not teacher-dependent.

Rishikesh — Our Practice Setting

Set beside the sacred Ganges in the Himalayan foothills, Rishikesh has long been a home for yoga and spiritual inquiry.

Its ashrams, riverside paths and surrounding greenery offer a setting for mindful practice and quiet reflection.

Here, the rhythm of daily practice invites a deeper connection with breath, body and the natural world.

Tapovan brings together a welcoming community of practitioners and teachers from around the world.

Between sessions, the landscape offers space to slow down and carry the stillness of practice into everyday life.
