Some days I am flexible, some days I am stiff, but I show up regardless because that is what yoga actually is. I do not practice to look a certain way. I practice to keep my joints healthy and my mind calm. If you are tired of quick-fix fitness fads and want to learn how to move in a way that actually heals your body, that is where we start. ### Why I Share My Practice Yoga is often marketed as a pursuit of the perfect pose. We see photos of people in deep splits or complex inversions, and we assume that is the goal. For me, that is far from the truth. My personal practice is my laboratory. It is where I deal with morning stiffness, work through my own postural habits, and sometimes, struggle to find balance. Sharing this, the good and the bad, is my way of showing that yoga is a lifelong process of discovery. ### The Importance of 'Sahi Dhang' (Correct Technique) When I work with students at my Sector 104 studio, my main focus is alignment. Many people come to me after years of doing Surya Namaskar incorrectly, leading to joint pain rather than relief. My goal is to teach you the *sahi dhang*—the right way—to move. Whether we are using blocks to support a Hatha pose or wall ropes to decompress the spine, these are not crutches. They are tools to help you feel the internal sensation of the asana. ### Healing Over Intensity My approach is therapeutic. If you are dealing with chronic issues like back pain, neck stiffness, or just general fatigue, you don't need a high-intensity workout. You need restorative movement. We use a mix of Hatha Yoga for stability, Vinyasa Flow for stamina, and Yin Yoga for deep healing. My classes are small—capped at 8 to 12 students—which allows me to personally correct your posture and ensure you are practicing safely. Yoga is not a shortcut. It is a slow, patient journey to become *lachila* (flexible), *furtila* (agile), and *taakatvar* (strong). If you are ready to stop forcing your body and start understanding it, I am here to help. ## About Alpana Yoga I am Alpana. I have been teaching for over 12 years, but my own practice is still a work in progress—my flows are not always smooth and my poses are not always perfect. I focus on helping you feel your body from the inside, rather than chasing a picture-perfect image.
