and has an effect on our mental
wellbeing. Our emotional health is
strongly related to the kind of asanas
we perform. Instead of treating yoga
like a majestic exercise that helps meet
divinity, a strong emphasis is put on its
physical benefits. In Super Yoga, it is
vital to get the perfect posture.

THE 21-DAY CHALLENGE
Based on the principles of Super Yoga,
we conduct a programme called the
21-day Challenge. This challenge
includes 21 people coming together
for 21 days in an attempt to develop 21
healthy habits that last a lifetime. The

After a tragic accident at the age of 17, Eefa Shrof turned to yoga. Not only did the practice help her

stand on her feet, but it also gave her the confidence to face life as it came. She is now passing on the

benefits of yoga to others through her Super Yoga classes and the 21-day Challenge

key features of the challenge are:

• If you are part of the challenge, it
  means you commit to the programme
  for 21 days, without a break


• During this time, the focus is on
  helping you develop 21 healthy habits
  that will make you mentally, physically
  and emotionally fitter and stronger


• It involves gruelling and non-stop
  one-and-a-half hour Ashtanga Yoga
  sessions – a dynamic yoga form in
  which you move from one asana to the
  other without taking any breaks; we do
  pranayam in between asanas


• The series of asanas helps detoxify the
  body; makes the cardiovascular system,

reproductive system and endocrine

system healthier; helps build muscle

power and makes joints stronger,

besides other benefits

• We believe and understand that it is
  very difficult for a person to do this
  series of asanas every day and that’s
  why we do it only for 21 days. The
  main purpose is to get you going
  and to inspire you to adopt some
  healthy practices that you can keep
  for a lifetime
