The cycle presented here is more than just a set of exercises; it is the result of unique scientific collaboration. The methodological foundation developed by Andrew Sidersky served as the basis for a rigorous medical study on the impact of yoga on autoimmune disorders (specifically Crohn's disease). The project was initiated by Professor Izoslav Shapiro, a world-renowned expert in gastroenterology and microbiota research, alongside Professor Nitsan Maharshak. The study was conducted at a leading clinical center in Israel, adhering to all international protocols.

Science in Service of Health The primary goal of this therapeutic cycle is to create conditions for stabilizing the body and improving objective health indicators in cases of complex systemic disorders. It is based on the idea that specific physical influence through movement and breathing can positively affect the microbiota and immune system function. It is a supportive self-regulation tool created at the intersection of decades of yoga expertise and modern evidence-based medicine.

Methodology: Breath over Form The program is divided into three logical blocks (series). To make the practice accessible to everyone, Andrew Sidersky developed two levels of difficulty for each complex:

1. Basic Level — the most simplified forms. Designed for individuals in a state of physical weakness, during flare-ups, or for those with no prior training experience. This is the gentlest entry point into the practice.

2. Easy Level — the next level of difficulty. Suitable for periods of remission and gradual body strengthening.

A critically important aspect is synchronization with the breath. In this cycle, the external aesthetics of a pose are secondary. The primary focus is the precise replication of the breathing rhythm (inhales, exhales, and pauses) set by the teacher. It is this "breathing sequence" that provides the therapeutic effect, influencing the parasympathetic nervous system and internal organs.

Schedule and Recommendations Consistency is key to achieving results. The recommended schedule is three sessions per week every other day (e.g., Mon–Wed–Fri). If possible, it is best to practice in the morning, though it remains effective at any time of day. If a form seems difficult even in the Basic version, perform it within a comfortable range of motion while strictly following the breathing cycle.
