About Advanced Asana Practice
In my sessions, we do not just jump into advanced poses; we build the necessary foundation first. We use bricks, straps, or chairs to understand the mechanics of each movement, ensuring you can explore your limits safely. This approach helps you gain the core strength and stability required for inversions and deep backbends without the fear of injury.
Mastering advanced asanas is a journey of patience rather than brute force. Whether you are aiming for Sirsasana (Headstand), Ganda Bherundasana (Chin Stand), or deep backbends, the secret lies in how you prepare your body. My method focuses on incremental growth, breaking down complex sequences into manageable steps that anyone can follow.
We utilize a variety of props—including metal chairs for hip opening, aerial hammocks for inversion confidence, and yoga wheels for spinal flexibility—not as shortcuts, but as essential tools to deepen your practice. For example, when working on Hanumanasana or deep lunges, we use blocks to provide stability, allowing you to focus on your breathing and alignment rather than struggling for balance.
I run these sessions at our studios across AECS Layout, Varthur, and Belathur. Each class is tailored to your current level, ensuring that you receive the hands-on adjustments needed to correct posture and deepen your stretch. This is a space where we value the process of improvement over the aesthetic of a perfect pose, helping you build a practice that is as sustainable as it is challenging.
