Therapeutic Yoga Techniques & Prop-Assisted Practice

Props can deepen your practice in many ways. A yoga wheel can assist with backbends, a block can improve balance, and a strap can help with tight hamstrings.

This graphic busts the myth that props are crutches. The truth is, even advanced teachers use props to refine alignment and deepen their practice.

Here's a breakdown of how different props help your practice. Blocks and chairs improve balance, bolsters enhance relaxation, and straps support alignment.

We host workshops like this one on Iyengar Yoga with Props. The theme is "Yoga for Everyone, Accessible to All," focusing on using props to improve alignment and deepen the practice.

This graphic details the benefits of our Iyengar workshop. The focus is on a slow, alignment-centered practice, which is ideal for pain recovery and empowering participants to safely use props.

Proper alignment is key to a safe practice. This graphic shows the common mistakes in Plank Pose, like sagging hips, and how to correct them for better form and results. Plank it, don't sink it!

Have you ever noticed the chin tuck in a shoulder stand? In this video, I explain the "why" behind the alignment. It's not just for posture; it activates the Jalandhar bandha to regulate blood circulation and the thyroid gland.

Your body stores emotions like stress and anxiety. This image introduces the concept of somatic healing, where we use mindful movement to release this stored tension.

This graphic shows how emotions are stored in different parts of the body, like grief in the chest. I teach specific yoga poses like Camel, Fish, and Cobra to help release these feelings.
