In my workshops at the Koramangala studio, we use props like wall ropes and blocks to understand the lever points of your body before you ever lift your feet off the floor. It is about building a foundation that makes the pose feel sustainable, not scary. ### Building Foundation Through Technique Many students approach advanced asanas like Bakasana or Pincha Mayurasana thinking it is all about upper body strength. While strength is part of it, the true secret lies in geometry and awareness. My sessions are designed to move you away from struggling and toward understanding. We focus on: * **Prop-Based Training:** Using chairs, wall ropes, and bricks allows us to isolate the muscles needed for inversions without the risk of injury. This is the core of the Iyengar influence in my teaching. * **Anatomical Breakdown:** We examine how to engage the core effectively to create a stable base for arm balances, preventing unnecessary pressure on the wrists or shoulders. * **Fear Management:** Inversions change your perspective. When you are upside down, your mind tends to react with fear. We work on pranayama and steady breathing to calm the nervous system, allowing you to hold poses with ease rather than tension. ### Why Join Our Workshops in Koramangala? Whether you are practicing a one-hand balance or refining your handstand alignment, my goal is to guide you toward a deeper connection with your body. We keep workshop capacities capped at 15 to 20 students to ensure I can provide the hands-on adjustments you need to progress safely. If you have been hitting a plateau in your home practice, these sessions provide the technical critique required to move to the next level. ## About Nirakula Yoga I am Amaresha.
