If you are wondering whether you need to be flexible or if it is too late to begin, please know that my sessions are designed for those with physical or mental health challenges, not for athletic performance. We focus on healing, not fitness goals. ### Therapeutic Yoga vs. Fitness Many people hesitate to start yoga because they view it as a test of flexibility or strength. In my practice, the goal is never to touch your toes or hold an advanced posture. We use props like bolsters, straps, and blocks to adapt every movement to your current body. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or injury recovery, we work with where you are today. ### Why Guidance Matters It is tempting to follow a video online, but for therapeutic needs, that can be risky. If you are dealing with conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, or high blood pressure, certain common poses might actually cause flare-ups if not aligned correctly. I provide 1-on-1 supervision to ensure your posture is safe and effective, and I modify sequences to suit your specific health profile. ### Is It Only for Stress? While stress relief is a major benefit, my therapy sessions address physical ailments too. We focus on: * **Nervous System Regulation:** Using Pranayama (breathwork) to shift the body from 'fight or flight' to 'rest and digest'. * **Condition Management:** Addressing specific symptoms of conditions like PCOS, diabetes, and arthritis through targeted Asanas. * **Postural Correction:** Strengthening the muscles that support your spine to ease chronic back or neck pain. ### Your First Step We begin with a symptom assessment. This helps me understand your medical history and daily limitations before we ever start moving. You do not need to be 'fit' to start. You just need to be willing to breathe and move gently. ## About Anagha Yoga I am Anagha, and I specialize in therapeutic yoga for those dealing with chronic pain, stress, and lifestyle conditions. My approach is simple: we move slowly, breathe deeply, and use props to make every posture accessible, regardless of your current health.
