Strengthen Your Vitality and Immunity with Ancient Wisdom and Modern Insight
In today’s world, where stress and illness seem all too common, it’s crucial to build resilience physically and mentally, alongside a spiritual practice.
Yogic theory holds much wisdom and tells us that the key to staving off illness is to make your life force (prana) stronger than the life force of the virus.
Otherwise, your immunity (fire, agni) can't cope, and the virus wins.
Combining the time-honoured practices of yoga therapy and Ayurveda, this lecture is designed to help you cultivate prana—your life force—and strengthen agni—your inner fire of immunity.
By understanding and implementing these core principles in combination, you’ll discover how to enhance your body’s natural defences and promote overall well-being, all while staying grounded and connected to your spiritual self.
Prevent illness and maintain resilience against modern stressors.
Balancing prana (life force) and agni (digestive fire) is essential for maintaining good health and resilience in the face of modern stressors.
When prana flows smoothly and agni burns brightly, your body can more effectively digest both food and experiences, helping to prevent illness and restore balance. Through yoga practices and Ayurvedic principles, you’ll learn how to harmonise these forces, ensuring that your immune system remains strong and your mind stays calm, even in challenging times.
This teaching is not limited to preventing illness—it’s also about enhancing your life force, your prana, and igniting your inner fire, your agni, to live with greater energy, clarity, and peace.
Through the timeless teachings of yoga therapy and Ayurveda, you’ll learn how to cultivate the balance and resilience needed to thrive against the stressors of life.
We invite you to explore these practices and unlock a deeper connection to your own well-being.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati
Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati is a Western medical doctor, Yoga Acharya (authority), Yoga Therapist, Psychotherapist, Author, Teacher, and Jyotish Astrologer. He combines Western mind-body medicine, including medicine, herbs, and supplements, with the profound wisdom of Eastern systems of healing and self-development, offering a unique and effective approach.
He empowers students and patients to develop a robust and stable identity (ego) that is resilient, powerful, and better able to handle the slaps and blows of life. This creates a stable center from which to explore the deeper Self, giving them a sense of control and empowerment.
His medical and yoga psychotherapy practice supports people in journeying back to the Self, forming a stable center from which to observe their mind and better meet life's challenges. This journey is informed by Eastern philosophy systems, such as yoga-tantra and Jungian depth psychology.
Who can benefit from this teaching?
This lecture is ideal for anyone seeking to enhance their health and resilience through a holistic approach, as well as those looking to strengthen their immune system and manage stress more effectively.
Whether you’re new to these practices or already have experience, this lecture provides valuable insights into balancing prana and agni for better physical and mental well-being.
It’s especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic illness, fatigue, or simply looking for practical ways to maintain vitality amongst a busy stressful day-to-day life.
“I have found solace and strength in the practice of Big Shakti's Prāna and Pranic Healing meditations & teachings. After just two weeks of dedicated morning and evening practice, I experienced a profound transformation within. The once stagnant heat in my body was replaced by a cooling, clear energy, and I felt physically stronger despite my condition's limitations.”

“Swami Shankardev radiates the light and knowledge of his lineage along with a great sense of humor and a certain simplicity and lightness of being. Not a small feat! Big Shakti is a valuable site for all aspiring to yoga, laymen and advanced practitioners alike. Thank you for the great work!”

“Big Shakti offer a clear exposition of the yogic understanding of prana and eminently practical guidance. In my experience, these guided meditations led me to achieve a quantifiable outcome - the felt experience of prana. This is a significant contribution for any student.”
Pam Bleakley

“Prana techniques work much better than the strongest brew of coffee and leave my cells buzzing with energy. And still others are available that help cool or heat the body. Even before this learning, I had always referred to the practices as the "candy" of my yoga practice. It was, therefore, very easy for me to accept that the breath could be used to heal. Swami was able to convey the logic behind why yoga practices are so important for overall health.”
Lindy S Johnson

“The Prana and Pranic Healing guided meditations have been a revelation for me – a practical, down-to-earth guide that illuminates my inner journey. Through these meditations, I have found my consciousness liberated from the shackles of the external world, allowing me to venture deep within myself. I have gained a firsthand experience of prana, the most precious, innermost possession of human life.”
Dharmendra Modha

“Big Shakti’s Prana and Pranic Healing meditations are an invaluable resource for both beginner and advanced students. The talk gives a clear and concise overview of the theory and workings of Prana, providing a solid grounding for the practices that follow. I feel that with each listening, my experience of these profound techniques deepens and becomes more available to use in my daily life. Thank you for producing such insightful and clearly communicated work.”
