ஒவ்வொரு மூச்சும் ஒரு புதிய தொடக்கம்
Experience classical yoga through a structured approach that brings together traditional practices, breath awareness and mindful living. Begin your journey with Meiyogam.
Our story
மெய்யோகம்(Meiyogam)through the body, to union with what is true.
Our name says what we believe. We begin with the body, because that is where you are today. With patient, sincere practice, the body itself becomes the way to what is true.
Meiyogam began in 2005 as a single Sunday gathering in a borrowed room. Twenty years on, there are more than forty sessions each week, retreats by the sea and in the mountains, and new teachers trained through our foundation programme.
The practice
மூச்சே முதல் படி
In the yoga tradition, the breath is the bridge between body and mind. Whatever your level, every course at Meiyogam returns to it.
Take a moment4 rounds, 1 min 16 sec
Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 7 and breathe out for 8. Even one round may help settle a busy mind. Try four rounds, then simply notice how you feel.
Breathe gently. If you feel light-headed, return to your natural breath.
Programme curriculum
படிப்படியான யோகப் பாதை
Seven levels, walked over about five to six years. Taught in Tamil and English, and rooted in the guru-shishya tradition of the Natha Sampradaya.
Level 03 months
The foundation of classical yoga begins with the essentials of daily living. Food, water, breath and sleep are brought into balance, while asana is introduced as a classical discipline rather than mere exercise. Gentle breathing, the Six Healing Sounds and chanting help settle the mind.
Level 13 months
Classical yoga practice begins from the ground up with sequences for the feet, the six stages of Nadi Shuddhi, an introduction to shatkarma and Agochari mudra. Alongside these traditional yogic practices, students explore the nadis and the Toltec teaching on keeping one's word.
Level 23 months
The practice moves to the spine, the axis of the subtle body. Formal pranayama, Boochari mudra, AUM chanting and the five vayus are introduced, with a life study that asks whether you are truly living as yourself.
Level 312 months
A year of patient work with the subtle body: the Udhara Series, Chi Gong, Nauli kriya and four meditation practices, guided by the Five Spirits of Chinese Medicine and a study of responsibility as the capacity to respond.
Level 418 to 24 months
Each of the seven principal chakras receives three to four months of dedicated practice through traditional yoga practices, including asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra and mantra. The approach is rooted in classical Hatha Yoga and Tantric texts, rather than popular wellness culture.
Level 5To be determined
Kriya Yoga, as preserved and transmitted through the Natha Sampradaya lineage, is imparted through dheeksha (initiation). These traditional yogic practices are shared within the sacred guru-shishya relationship, with eligibility determined by the āchārya through an individual assessment of each student's readiness and understanding.
Level 6To be determined
Explore the philosophical foundations that give depth and meaning to classical yoga practice. The study may encompass Samkhya-Yoga, Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaiva philosophy and Tamil Siddha literature, offering a deeper understanding of India's rich philosophical traditions. The complete syllabus will be announced as it is formalised.
