Instead, we use props like pillows, bolsters, and straps to support your posture. This allows your diaphragm to expand fully and your nervous system to settle into a state of rest without any physical strain. Whether you are dealing with chronic issues like COPD, sleep apnea, or simply long nights of tossing and turning, the goal is the same: to move from a state of stress to a state of rest. My approach focuses on two core principles: Sthira (steadiness) and Sukha (comfort). We start by addressing the breath. I teach specific techniques like Bhramari (humming breath) and Ujjayi (ocean breath) to soothe the vagus nerve, which signals your body to calm down. For sleep, we look at restorative poses like Viparita Karani (legs up the wall), which shifts blood flow and reduces the cortisol that keeps you awake. For those with respiratory conditions, we incorporate gentle movements such as the Cobra Pose to open the chest area, helping you breathe more deeply and efficiently. This is not about building muscle mass. It is about creating space. Because every body is different, our sessions are always 1-on-1. We adjust the sequence based on your energy levels that day. If you are having a flare-up, we swap intensive asanas for breathwork. If you are feeling stronger, we incorporate more movement. Consistency is the only secret here. By practicing these small, mindful movements, you teach your body how to relax on command. ## About Anagha Yoga I am Anagha. I believe that healing starts with how you breathe. I do not teach fancy fitness flows, I teach you how to use yoga to calm your mind and support your body through its toughest days.
