Foundational Yoga for Beginners in Saket
Yoga belongs to everyone, regardless of your starting point. We use props like chairs, blocks, and straps to make foundational postures accessible, safe, and effective for every body.
"I won't give up until I get fit." This video captures the determination of our students. Here, they use chairs and steppers for support, showing that progress is about consistency, not perfection.
Students use chairs to practice a variation of Garudasana (Eagle Pose). This modification helps improve balance and stretch the hips and shoulders without the risk of falling, making it accessible for all.
I am demonstrating how to use a chair to safely practice Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand). Props are wonderful tools to help students experience the benefits of inversions with proper alignment and support.
A glimpse into our chair yoga class, where students work on strength and flexibility in a supported and safe environment. Chair yoga is perfect for those with limited mobility or anyone looking for a gentle practice.
Chair yoga can be both gentle and challenging. This video shows a student working on seated twists and leg extensions, improving mobility and concentration with the support of a chair.
This is an educational graphic of Balasana (Child's Pose). It is a fundamental resting posture that calms the mind, relieves back pain, and is a pose we return to often in class for rest and reconnection.
This video shows a sequence of pelvic floor exercises, including Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), which are beneficial for both men and women.
We incorporate various tools to aid our practice. This video shows exercises using TRX suspension trainers and steppers to improve hamstring flexibility and relieve back pain.
About Yoga for All: Foundations & Supported Practice
You do not need to be flexible to start. We use chairs, blocks, and straps to help you safely perform foundational asanas, even if you are dealing with mobility issues, sciatica, or back pain. It is about building strength and confidence through proper alignment, ensuring you get the benefits of the pose without the risk of injury.
Building a Strong Foundation
Many people think they cannot start yoga because they cannot touch their toes or have pre-existing physical limitations. At Adi Anant Yoga Studio, we view these as the very reasons to begin. Our foundational classes focus on Hatha Yoga, a deliberate and disciplined practice where we hold postures to build muscular endurance and steady the mind.
Why We Use Props
We integrate props like wooden blocks, yoga wheels, and chairs not as a crutch, but as an extension of your own body. For a student with tight hamstrings, a block brings the floor closer, allowing the spine to remain straight during a forward fold. For someone managing cervical spondylosis or sciatica, a chair provides the support needed to perform twists and stretches without straining the lower back. This approach ensures that you are working within your current physical capacity while gradually increasing your range of motion.
The Daily Practice
Our sessions are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to those returning to the mat after a long break. We incorporate pranayama (breathwork) and mudras to balance your internal energy, moving beyond physical exercise into the deeper aspects of dhyan (meditation). Whether you are looking to manage lifestyle conditions like PCOD or simply want to build functional strength, our classes provide the environment you need. You will receive micro-adjustments and hands-on guidance to ensure your alignment is correct from day one.
