Advanced Yoga Asanas and Personal Practice in Mumbai
A glimpse into my own practice—where I explore the limits of strength, flexibility, and mindfulness to better guide you on your journey.
A deep Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Pose) in a garden. This powerful backbend opens the entire front of the body and builds strength in the arms, legs, and spine.
A wall-assisted handstand, or Adho Mukha Vrksasana. Using the wall is a great way to build the strength and confidence needed for inversions, helping to overcome fear and find balance.
This sequence shows a wall-assisted variation of the Wheel Pose, demonstrating how to use props to deepen a backbend and work towards more advanced expressions of the asana.
A demonstration of a standing split (Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana) and leg-behind-head variations. These poses require significant hip flexibility and balance, which we build progressively in class.
A flowing sequence that moves through several advanced asanas, including arm balances and leg-behind-head poses. This showcases how different postures can be linked together in a creative and challenging flow.
Holding a basic Wheel Pose on the mat. Even foundational versions of advanced poses are incredibly beneficial for building spinal flexibility and overall strength.
A standing backbend (Anuvittasana) practiced outdoors. This pose is a wonderful heart-opener and a great way to energize the body while connecting with nature.
This video focuses on Pasasana, or the Noose Pose. It's a challenging squat and twist that deeply detoxifies the organs and improves spinal mobility and balance.
A fun and dynamic video showing a transition into Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) arms. This is a great stretch for tight shoulders, which is common for those who sit at a desk all day.
A short morning yoga routine showing a full-body stretch. The sequence includes pranayama, forward bends, and lunges to awaken the body and set a positive tone for the day.
About My Personal Practice & Advanced Asanas
My practice is my laboratory—a space where I explore advanced asanas and transitions to understand what the body really needs. Whether you see me in a deep wheel pose or working on inversions, remember that every complex posture starts with a basic foundation. I use these daily explorations to figure out the safest, most effective ways to help you move, ensuring you can build strength without rushing the process.
While these images showcase my advanced practice, please don't be intimidated. My approach at the studio is rooted in safety and alignment, heavily influenced by Hatha and Iyengar traditions.
Why Practice Advanced Asanas?
It is not just about the 'perfect' pose. For me, attempting arm balances or backbends is about building physical discipline and mental focus. When we work towards these poses, we learn patience and how to respect our body's current limitations.
My Approach to Progression
If you see a pose here that looks challenging, know that it usually comes with a mountain of preparation:
- Props are your best friend: I use chairs, blocks, and straps to make challenging poses accessible to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.
- Small batch focus: In my classes at Krida Sports Academy, I keep batches small (8-15 students). This allows me to provide hands-on tactile adjustments, ensuring you are aligned safely before you ever try to go deeper.
- Functional over fancy: My goal is always to reduce your aches and pains. If we are working on a deep squat or a twist, it is usually to improve your digestion or spinal mobility after a long day at a desk.
