You will learn to use props like belts, blocks, and chairs to master alignment safely, focusing on the basics of Hatha and Vinyasa to build a strong foundation. Whether you are in our Andheri or Malad studios or joining live on Zoom, the goal is simple—progressing at your own speed with guidance that respects your body's limits. Yoga is a practice of consistency, not intensity. I designed the Abhyasa batches specifically for those who want to understand the 'why' behind the poses. We move away from the pressure of perfection and focus on alignment, breath control, and mobility. ### Why Props Are Your Best Friend Many people think props are only for beginners. In reality, they are tools to help you find space and safety in a pose. Whether it is using a belt for a deeper lateral bend or a chair for stability in backbends, props allow you to hold postures longer and understand how your muscles should engage. ### What You Can Expect - **Structured Cycles:** We run monthly batches where we break down postures step-by-step. You won't feel rushed. - **Real-Time Guidance:** If you are online, I monitor your form via Zoom to give you verbal cues. If you are in the studio, you get hands-on adjustments to correct alignment. - **A Focus on Longevity:** We spend time on warm-ups like elephant walks and controlled transitions, ensuring your joints and muscles are ready before we go into deeper work. ### A Sustainable Practice It is okay if your practice looks different every day. Some days you will feel light, others heavy. My classes are a safe space to explore that. We focus on the 'slow is fast' philosophy—taking your time to get the foundation right so that, eventually, your body moves naturally into more complex postures. This is how you build a practice that supports you for years, not just a few months. ## About Ajinkya Meher I am Ajinkya. I believe yoga should be about steady progress, not a race to performance. I have spent years moving from being a shy, unsure student to teaching others, and I have learned that the most important part of any class is simply showing up. Come as you are, and we will work from there.
