The goal of the USY is to achieve harmony and balance within each shell, between the shells, and between the human being and the outer world. To develop and refine these shells, USY uses a diversity of practical exercises. One may practise the exercises pertaining to each shell separately; however, to speed up the process, USY combines various elements of different exercises that create a simultaneous impact on several shells.

| Yoga Balance |
| Most of us suffer from problems of asymmetry and imbalance. The irregularity and imbalance creates a lot of strees and strain on our body. At times, it also leads to injury, pain or just simply discomfort. Yoga Balance helps you to create symmetry throughout the body by training you to be strong, flexible and balanced. It also finds equilibrium between the urge to push, control and be assertive with the impulse to yield, submit and be passive. Includes asana practice, concentration and meditation technique. Suitable for beginners. |

| Yoga for Joy & Tranquility |
| We feel the body, we feel the mind, we feel the breath. But we do not have that feeling that helps to realise all three things. Body is an accumulation of food, and mind is the heap of impressions that we have taken in from various societies and environments. Just as we can drop the weight and release tension from the body through different types of Yogic asanas, sun salutations, etc. -- similarly we can remove impressions of the mind through fast breathing, Om chanting, sun salutations, dead body, pranayamas, etc. in the class and emerge feeling fresh, happy, joyful, peaceful, relaxed like a little child. |
