We combine functional fitness tools with precise yoga alignment to build a core that supports every movement you make. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Building core strength is fundamental to a strong yoga practice.

When I place a bolster on your back while you hold a plank, or ask you to hold a Russian twist with a weighted ball, I am not just testing your abs—I am teaching your body to stabilize under load. It feels different because it forces your muscles to switch on in ways that floor exercises simply cannot. ### Why functional strength matters When we talk about core strength, we aren't chasing the look of defined abs. We are building a foundation that makes your daily life easier, whether that means carrying groceries without back pain or holding a difficult yoga pose with ease. My approach combines traditional yoga postures with functional fitness drills. We use heavy medicine balls to challenge your rotational power and bolsters to add instability to your planks. This forces your body to recruit deep stabilizing muscles that standard gym workouts often miss. ### What to expect in our sessions Whether you are training with me at the Santacruz studio or I am visiting your home in Bandra, Juhu, or Vile Parle, the priority is always alignment. I use a mix of: * **Iyengar-inspired props:** To help you find the right posture safely. * **Functional tools:** Medicine balls and Swiss balls to build stability. * **Bodyweight movements:** Squats, planks, and flows that translate to real-world movement. If you are dealing with chronic issues or are new to fitness, do not worry. We go slow. 'Thoda time lagega' (It will take some time), but the strength you build here is meant to last. If you are looking to combine this with our other offerings—like Iyengar-inspired alignment sessions or therapeutic yoga—let me know. We can build a routine that fits your lifestyle. ## About Body Temple Yoga Studio I am Abhishek Khurana. I treat your body as a temple, not a machine to exhaust. I prefer to guide you through slow, precise movements that build lasting strength rather than rushing through reps.
