I share these clips to show that yoga is about showing up and listening to your body, whether you are holding a steady headstand or working through a stiff hip. It is not about the final shape, but the patience you build along the way. Yoga is a practice, not a performance. If you see me struggling with a deeper split or holding a pose against a wall, it is because real progress happens in the process. When I teach, I focus on the *sahi tarika* (right technique) because yoga, when done with poor alignment, creates more tension than relief. Whether it is correcting the 12 steps of Surya Namaskar to realize it is actually 8 asanas repeated, or using props to master low lunges (Anjaneyasana), I want my students to understand *why* we move the way we do. ### Why Alignment Matters Most people come to me with back pain or stiffness from desk jobs. We fix this by focusing on: * **Slow Progression:** We don't rush into full splits or deep backbends. We use preparatory asanas to open the hips and hamstrings safely. * **Prop Usage:** Using blocks and straps allows you to maintain the correct form even if your body isn't flexible yet. * **Breath Awareness:** The breath is your guide. If you are struggling to breathe, you are pushing too hard. ### My Philosophy I believe in *tapas* (discipline). Whether you are joining my 30-day intensive in Sector 104 or trying a weekend session, the goal is the same: building a body that is *lachila* (flexible), *furtila* (agile), and *taakatvar* (strong). If you are looking for magic or quick fixes, this is not the place for you. But if you are ready to put in the work and move from the couch to the mat, I will be with you every step of the way. ## About Alpana Yoga Hi, I’m Alpana. I don't believe in quick fixes or magic; I believe in showing up daily and doing the work. My practice is my lab, and I invite you to see the real, unpolished side of it—where we find balance, one breath at a time.
