Rooted in Practice, Guided by Nature

Lumayya was born from a simple idea: yoga should be accessible, understandable, and deeply personal. We created a space where everyone can find their path to practice, regardless of experience or physical abilities. Our approach is based on respect for the body and its natural rhythms. We believe that true transformation happens through conscious observation and gentle acceptance of yourself as you are right now. Each course is created with attention to detail and deep understanding of how yoga works with the physical body, breath, and state of consciousness. We strive to convey principles that allow you to practice safely and effectively.
Lumayya is an invitation to return to yourself, find support in the moment, and discover inner strength through practice.

How much time should I dedicate to practice?

It depends on your schedule and goals. Courses are built so you can practice from 15 minutes to an hour per day. Regularity is more important than duration of individual practice.

Can I practice if I have physical limitations?

Most poses can be adapted to individual needs. Courses provide variations for different levels of flexibility and strength. However, if you have serious health issues, consult a doctor before starting practice.
