The Balakrama, or "Step to Strength," is the first series learned in the Shadow Yoga system. The balakrama serves as an excellent tool to build strength and suppleness in the body, clear obstructions in the lower limbs and invigorate the internal power system known as agni. More than a series of moves, the Shadow Yoga preludes teach essential principles related to the energetic structure and cultivate both patience and persistence in the mind.
