We don't rush through sequences; you will hear me say *ruko* (hold) often because that is where the real transformation happens. Whether you are using a chair for support or holding a deep backbend, we focus on exactly where your body is today, not where you think it should be. ### Our Philosophy: Body as a Temple For me, yoga is not about how far you can bend, but about honoring the body. At Body Temple, we move beyond the physical posture to understand the mechanics of how you move. You will find that our sessions are inclusive—we have students joining from Mumbai to the US—all working on their unique goals in one shared space. ### The Styles We Practice * **Iyengar Yoga:** We use props like chairs, ropes, and blocks to ensure your alignment is correct, especially when we tackle challenging inversions like headstands. * **Ashtanga & Vinyasa:** These classes are designed to build heat, improve cardiovascular health, and increase stamina through dynamic sequences. * **Hatha Yoga:** A slower, methodical approach that focuses on mastering individual asanas and building a foundation for your practice. * **Therapeutic & Medical Yoga:** If you are dealing with orthopedic issues or stress, we adapt the practice to provide relief and slow, steady healing. ### Why Practice with Us? Whether you are a beginner or looking to advance your practice, you get direct guidance. Since we keep our batches interactive, I can provide verbal corrections even if you are joining online. Remember, *thoda time lagega* (it will take some time). Yoga is a lifelong commitment to yourself, and my goal is to guide you through that process with patience and discipline. ## About Body Temple Yoga Studio I’m Abhishek Khurana. I started Body Temple Yoga Studio six years ago, and for me, it’s more than a studio—it’s a second home. Whether you're in our Santacruz studio or joining online, we focus on the breath and the journey, not just the pose.
