💬 In this section, you can find answers to some common questions related to yoga and Cyclic Yoga.

 

📌 What is Yoga?

Yoga is a holistic system of physical postures, breathwork, and mental practices aimed at promoting the health of both body and mind.

 

📌 What is Cyclic Yoga?

Cyclic Yoga is a modern style of practicing physical and breathing exercises in yoga. The design of each cycle can be likened to composing a harmonious piece of music:
Just as each musical note has its own role and value, it is the sequence and rhythm in which they are arranged that creates a pleasant melody.
In Cyclic Yoga, each asana (pose) is like a musical note, and the entire sequence is like a full composition. The order and flow of movements within each cycle are designed to create a specific physical and emotional state by the end of the session.

 

📌 Can Cyclic Yoga help treat MS, diabetes, or other illnesses?

In general, yoga has therapeutic and health-promoting properties for a wide range of conditions — and Cyclic Yoga is no exception.
However, because of its precisely structured sequences, rooted in medical and scientific principles, and its adaptability to individual physical limitations, this style offers enhanced therapeutic potential compared to more generalized approaches.

 

📌 Are there any restrictions for practicing Cyclic Yoga?

Restrictions depend on each individual’s physical condition. That’s why the cycles are categorized into beginner and advanced levels to accommodate different needs and abilities.

 

📌 Who are the founders of the Cyclic Yoga style?

Cyclic Yoga was founded in 1997 by Master Maya Machawe and Dr. Saed Ahmadi in Iran.

 

📌 Who are the certified instructors of Cyclic Yoga?

For training and coordination, you may contact Payam Mehr Yoga Center or its recognized representatives.
