Advanced Asana Practice
Move beyond the basics with inversions and deep stretches. My advanced classes in Basaveshwaranagar focus on building the strength and stability required to hold these challenging postures safely.
This is the energy of Power Yoga. In this sequence, I flow from Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog) into a wall-assisted handstand and finish with Chakrasana (Wheel Pose), building core strength and spinal flexibility with each breath.
The journey to an advanced pose like Vrischikasana (Scorpion Handstand) is a step by step process. This collage shows the progression, from building foundational forearm strength to finding the final balance.
Flexibility is earned. This standing split (Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana) against the wall is a deep hamstring and hip opener that demonstrates the kind of flexibility we work towards in my classes.
"Sthira sukham asanam" means the posture should be steady and comfortable. This standing split variation shows that the goal is not just the shape, but finding ease and stability within your own body.
This video demonstrates the control required for Salamba Sirsasana, or supported headstand. I am moving my legs through different variations, including a lotus pose, which challenges balance and core stability.
A demonstration of a headstand flow, moving from a straight leg inversion into a bound angle pose (Baddha Konasana) while inverted. This builds immense shoulder and core strength.
This is Anjaneyasana, or low lunge pose, with a backbend variation. It provides a deep stretch for the hips and quadriceps while opening the chest and improving balance.
Never stop unlearning. This wall-supported Ustrasana (Camel Pose) is a deep backbend that opens the entire front of the body. Using the wall allows for a safer and deeper expression of the pose.
Finding balance in Natarajasana, the Lord of the Dance pose. This posture requires focus, flexibility in the spine and shoulders, and strength in the standing leg.
A short video showing the transition into Natarajasana (Dancer's Pose). It begins with finding your balance, then moving into the full expression of the pose, which builds grace and stability.
About Advanced Asana Practice
In my studio, we don't just jump into deep backbends or handstands. We use wall ropes, blocks, and focused drills to build the specific alignment and core strength required before attempting full expressions of these complex postures.
When I teach advanced asanas, the goal isn't just to mimic a shape. It is to find 'Sthira sukham asanam,' or steady and comfortable posture. Whether we are working on a Vrischikasana (Scorpion) or a simple headstand, the priority is always safe progression. If you are struggling to balance, it just means your foundation needs more work. We use the wall for support until your shoulders and core are ready to hold the weight independently. My Power Yoga sessions in Basaveshwaranagar follow a high-energy flow that forces you to engage every muscle. You will sweat, you will likely fall out of a pose, and you will have to get back into it. That process is where the real change happens. If you are looking for a place to play on your mat, push your limits, and finally hold those inversions you have been practicing, this is the environment for you. We keep the studio non-AC to ensure you warm up naturally and safely, using props to help you go deeper into stretches than you might be able to on your own.
Aadhya Power Yoga
I teach because I want you to find the strength you already have. My classes aren't about how flexible you are when you walk in, but how much you are willing to learn and push yourself on the mat.
