Course Overview
The word “course” is a trendy and enticing label, often giving the impression that completing it will make you an expert in a particular field. In reality, what I’ve created is a developmental program in Hatha Yoga, based on the repeated practice of meticulously refined sequences. I worked directly on this program for a full year, continuously improving the sequences through daily practice. However, its foundation was shaped over six years of teaching private and group classes, and more broadly through a decade of personal practice, extensive experience in sports acrobatics since the age of 11, and a deep understanding of biomechanics—enough to create 3D animations for this course.
The videos are edited to avoid boring you or wasting your time with repetitive introductions after the twentieth session of the same module. That’s why the pace may feel fast at first—but don’t be discouraged. Practice at your own rhythm, and over time you’ll begin to notice more and more details.
Programme Philosophy
This program is primarily focused on expanding your range of motion while maintaining a balance between muscle strengthening and stretching. It also aims to enhance concentration during static practice. The sequences are designed to gradually increase your mobility level—like climbing stairs rather than jumping to the top. It demonstrates biomechanical principles and uses a modern approach to stretching, incorporating isometric tension sequences, post-isometric relaxation, mobility positions, and reciprocal inhibition techniques. These are the keys to unlocking your full range of motion. There’s no forcing or waiting for miracles—just clean protocols.
Many of the asana variations in this program are uniquely designed to naturally activate the right muscle tensions within the correct sequences. Every position has been carefully selected to include only what’s essential for achieving your goals, saving you time and energy. At the same time, they’re chosen so that by practicing only these, you’ll be able to perform all other poses at the same level—even those not included in the program.
Who It’s For
This course is intended for people with average physical ability. I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone—let’s say it’s for those who participated in PE classes at school. It will definitely bring visible results for very stiff individuals. At the same time, it’s valuable even for teachers and advanced enthusiasts due to its structure and attention to detail.
Method and Progression
My method supports parallel development in any other yoga style, but the program itself is designed as a complete and satisfying standalone practice. Level 1 can be enough for years of balanced training. It offers a chance to build a solid foundation for your growth. If you have greater ambitions and more time, the combined Level 2 and 3 program is already being fine-tuned. It enables you to perform virtually all reasonable advanced poses.
It’s hard to say exactly how many times you need to complete the full program before moving on to Level 2—it’s highly individual. But I’d estimate a minimum of 10 cycles. Each cycle can be completed in one week by practicing five times a week for about an hour a day. In the beginning, you can stretch it over two or even three weeks. The creation of the advanced course will depend on your enthusiasm, but you’ll certainly have plenty of time to work with Level 1.
Structure and Design
In Level 1, all ranges of motion are divided into separate modules, largely based on anatomical fascial lines. There’s no dedicated module for shoulder joint movements—they’re distributed throughout the program. One could argue that focusing only on forward bends or backbends isn’t balanced, and that’s true. But combining too many themes would extend the practice time and reduce strength and focus. Themes are paired in levels 2 and3.
While developing this program, I analyzed possible simplifications and reductions to make it suitable for working individuals—like myself. I personally practiced only this program throughout 2024, after physical work as a carpenter. After a few advanced sessions, I was able to perform most of the poses shown in the photos on this site. Interestingly, many of those poses aren’t even part of my advanced program—they just look good in pictures.
Creation Process
Over two years, I designed every second of this course. I created the anatomical 3D animations, edited 120GB of raw footage, set up the cameras for the videos and photos, edited all the images, built the website, and designed the logo. You’ll only truly understand what I’ve done here after months of practice. Everything was created out of passion and a desire to show what a person is capable of. There’s no intention to profit from quick lessons—only quality and personal satisfaction matter. I built it for myself too, so it would be comfortable to practice with.
How to Use My Yoga Programme
- Warm-up
If you practice in the evening, do the warm-up shortly before your session—and ideally also in the morning before work. If you practice in the morning, one warm-up per day is enough. - Sun Salutations
Preferably every morning, but definitely at the beginning of each yoga session. - Modules
Ideally, practice 5–6 days a week, then start again from the beginning. Repeat until everything feels easy. I personally practice after work around 5 PM and on weekends, but you can find your own rhythm. You’re more flexible in the evening, but also more tired. - Pranayama and Meditation
If you have time, practice after your session—or separately, whenever you like, without preparation. Later, you can replace it with your own longer meditations and other pranayama techniques learned elsewhere. More techniques will appear in the next level.

Warm Up
The first element you’ll learn is a short warm-up designed to mobilize and “lubricate” the joints. Its purpose is to prepare your body safely for yoga practice or daily activity, while also awakening your energy. The exercises primarily involve circular joint movements. This method draws inspiration from Tai Chi, but the sequence I share has been simplified, adapted, and enriched with additional motions. Regular joint rotations promote joint health and may help prevent degeneration. Ideally, include this warm-up in your daily routine—right after getting out of bed—and repeat it again just before your Hatha Yoga session.
Sun Salutations
The most popular Hatha Yoga sequence in the world appears in various forms across different styles. Now, discover my own unique modifications. After the initial warm-up and before diving into the modules, it’s important to further activate your body to prepare it for stretching. If you practice yoga in the evening, it’s essential to perform Sun Salutations right beforehand—but ideally, you should also do them in the morning if time allows. This will give you the greatest flexibility later in the day.
6 Modules
Once your body is warmed up through dynamic movements, we transition into the more static part of the practice. Each module consists of a series of 12 main postures, typically presented in a sequence of four variations using techniques:
- Isometric tension in the muscles targeted for stretching activates neuromuscular mechanisms that prepare the body for post-isometric relaxation and increased range of motion.
- Post-isometric relaxation of those same muscles allows deeper release and safer elongation of the muscle-tendon unit.
- Mobility positions, where we engage the antagonist muscles and work within the body’s true range of motion without forcing a stretch, help integrate strength and control.
- Active stretching through the full range of motion using the mechanism of reciprocal inhibition promotes balanced flexibility and functional movement
Some poses incorporate only two or three of these stages, and occasionally I weave in dynamic exercises—but sparingly, as my focus is on cultivating static concentration.
Pranayama and Meditation
This program introduces basic pranayama focused on breath awareness through three respiratory zones: diaphragmatic, intercostal, and apical. These simple techniques help you engage different parts of the breath and prepare the body for deeper practice. More advanced methods will appear in the next level.
Meditation here is optional and minimal. You can practice it after your session or separately, anytime. This technique is based on Isha Kriya. You can use original one as an alternative—it’s simple, effective, and works well alongside this program, but it takes around 15 minutes.
