Persian Yoga (Pahlavani) - The way of Warriors

Persian Yoga™ (Pahlavani) is the yoga of warriors practised in secret underground Temples of Strength (Zurkhaneh). Persian Yoga™ is a comprehensive and specific approach for building a strong, functional, flexible and healthy physique which can move with agility and with great fluid grace. The practice of Persian Yoga™ involves dynamic flexibility postures (Asanas) done in combination with callisthenics, on a Shena, through a series of uninterrupted fluid movements and Asanas that gracefully link to each-other like the pearls on a necklace. The practice also includes resistance training with Meel and Sang, as a way of developing great strength, mobility, stability, synchronicity and coordination. As well as cardiovascular aerobic exercises and dynamic meditation - Samaa - i.e. meditation through whirling and music. Persian Yoga™, or Pahlavani, was developed by the Persians over 2,500 years ago as a complete, yet simple, martial arts conditioning system to forge warriors out of ordinary people.
