Universal Yoga offers simplifications and modifications to suit students of all levels of experience. One of the biggest benefits of Universal Yoga is that it’s adaptable, when some styles of yoga just aren’t accessible to many people. Instead, Andrey has designed a style of yoga that is firmly rooted in tradition, yet fluid enough to be customized to any level of expertise, age, or state of health. Yoga should be something accessible, yet challenging, but certainly not exclusive. Universal Yoga is for everyone, from the total beginner to the extremely advanced practitioner of yoga, so long as the student is willing to transform the entire being and experience oneness.
