They need a solid foundation of core stability and shoulder strength. My practice emphasizes these mechanics so you can safely progress toward these challenging asanas without risking injury. People often look at a full middle split or a deep backbend and think it is just for the naturally flexible. It is not. These poses are the result of consistent, intelligent practice. My approach to advanced yoga is rooted in sports science. I do not just ask you to stretch. We work on joint mobilization, myofascial release, and controlled loading to open the body safely. When we work on something like Eka Pada Bakasana, I break it down into the specific arm balance, hip opening, and core engagement required to hold the pose. We use props like blocks to square the hips in Samakonasana, ensuring the stretch is effective rather than straining. This is not about rushing to a final pose. It is about the steps in between. Whether you are working toward your first handstand or refining an inversion, my focus is on alignment that keeps you strong and injury-free. My background as a team physio keeps me focused on the biomechanics of every move. I know how to modify these advanced asanas for your current level, so you build the necessary stability long before you attempt the full expression. ## About Aviraj I am Aviraj. I have spent years on the Kabaddi mat and in the physio clinic, and I use that experience to teach yoga. I do not believe in forcing the body. We work with it, strengthening and opening it until the pose happens naturally.
