Agni Shakti

Agni — inner fire • Shakti — power, energy
Intensity : Strong
Duration : 60 min
Level : Intermediate
Best for : Kapha
Igniting the inner fire — a dynamic, heat-building practice that stokes energy and lifts the heaviness of Kapha.

Kindling Agni for Kapha

Agni is the inner fire — of digestion, metabolism, transformation. When Kapha accumulates, agni dims: the body feels heavy, the metabolism slows, energy sinks, motivation fades. The Ayurvedic remedy is to rekindle the fire, and Agni Shakti does exactly that.
This is a dynamic, energising practice built to raise heat and stoke shakti — power, vitality. Where Kapha grows still and heavy, Agni Shakti moves, warms and awakens. It is the antidote to sluggishness, and one of the most valuable practices a Kapha type can have.
What happens in the class
The class builds steadily through warming sequences and Surya Namaskar to raise internal heat, moving into strong standing postures and dynamic transitions that keep the body working and warm. Stimulating pranayama — Kapalabhati and Bhastrika, the 'fire breaths' — drives the energy up. The intensity is strong and building, closing with a short rest, because the Kapha body needs to carry its new fire into the day rather than sink back into stillness.

Benefits

  • Rekindles a slow metabolism and lifts low energy
  • Burns through heaviness and sluggishness
  • Builds heat, strength and stamina
  • Stimulates circulation and mental clarity
  • Cultivates the momentum Kapha needs

Who this class is for

Prescribed for Kapha-dominant types and anyone in a heavy, low-energy phase. If your Dosha Reading returned Kapha or a Kapha combination, Agni Shakti is central to your practice. Strongly-aggravated Pitta types should approach with care in summer.
