Refining Your Asana Practice with Props
Stop forcing your body into poses. We use blocks, chairs, and straps to help you find stability, understand proper alignment, and build real strength, regardless of your current flexibility.
Feeling stuck or worried about injury in advanced poses? This is why we incorporate functional mobility and strength drills using props. This class focuses on strengthening weak muscles and improving balance to help you hold advanced asanas with greater ease and safety.
We teach a variety of authentic yoga styles, including Vinyasa, Yin, and Prop Yoga. This allows you to experience a blend of practices, from dynamic flows that build heat to slow, deep stretches that release tension. We help you find the style that works best for you.
Props are powerful tools for learning. In this online class, we used the wall to refine Utkatasana (Chair Pose). This variation helps engage the core and distribute weight correctly, teaching you to build a stronger and more intelligent squat.
Malasana (Garland Pose) is an ancient and powerful squat that aids digestion and improves hip mobility. If holding it is a challenge, it's a sign your lower body needs attention. Here, we demonstrate the pose and how sipping warm water in it can enhance its digestive benefits.
This sequence is designed to support women's health by balancing hormones. Poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Baddhakonasana (Butterfly Pose) stimulate abdominal organs and improve pelvic blood flow, while twists like Ardha Matsyendrasana aid in detoxification.
Viparita Karani, or Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose, is a simple but profound inversion. It relieves tired legs, helps balance hormones by acting on the thyroid gland, and calms the nervous system. It's a perfect pose to unwind and restore your energy.
The practice of 108 Surya Namaskars (Sun Salutations) is a powerful energetic journey. Each round is a moving meditation that builds strength, stamina, and focus. This video shows a glimpse of the flow we practice to honor traditions like Ratha Saptami.
About this collection
Most people think holding a pose is about grit, but it is actually about placement. In our Kalyan Nagar studio, we don’t just ask you to 'stretch more.' We use Iyengar-style chairs and wall ropes to help you find the space in your joints where that 'stuck' feeling lives. When you can breathe in a pose, your muscles stop resisting, and that is where real change happens.
Flexibility is not the same as functional mobility. We see many students who can touch their toes but still have tight shoulders or weak lower backs. Our approach is to reverse that. We use props like blocks, straps, and chairs—not as crutches, but as tools to align your skeletal structure correctly. If you are struggling with inversions like Sarvangasana or feeling the strain of a deep backbend in your lumbar spine, it is usually a sign that your foundation is misaligned. In these deep-dive workshops, we break down poses into granular movements. You will learn to engage the right muscles rather than dumping your body weight into your joints. Whether you are working on opening your hips, correcting rounded shoulders, or just want to hold an asana without pain, we provide the technical cues that make it possible. We prioritize consistency over intensity, helping you build a sustainable practice that you can maintain whether you are training in our studio or practicing at home.
Absolute Yoga
We started Absolute Yoga in 2017 because we were tired of the 'perfect pose' obsession. Here, it does not matter if you can't touch your toes. We care about showing up and doing the work, using tools that make the practice sustainable for your specific body.
