Understand the science behind your practice. We share expert insights on correct alignment, debunk common myths, and explain the restorative power of therapeutic yoga.

Let's bust some common yoga myths. You don't have to be flexible to do yoga; yoga is what makes you flexible. This video debunks misconceptions to help you get on the mat.

Avoid these three big mistakes in yoga. This video covers common errors like holding your breath and skipping Shavasana, helping you build a safer and more effective practice.

Are you making this mistake in your standing poses? Poor alignment can reduce benefits and lead to injury. This video shows how to correct your posture with the guidance of an experienced instructor.

Avoid this common mistake in Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose). I show you how to properly align your knee over your ankle and lengthen your spine for a safer, deeper stretch.

An essential blood test for PCOS diagnosis is a Lipid Profile. This helps assess cardiovascular risk, which can be increased in women with PCOS.

Insulin Resistance and Glucose Metabolism tests are crucial for PCOS. Fasting glucose and insulin levels can indicate insulin resistance, a common root cause of PCOS symptoms.

Thyroid function tests are important as thyroid disorders can coexist with PCOS. We check TSH, T3, and T4 to evaluate thyroid health.

Inflammatory markers like C-reactive Protein (CRP) are also tested for PCOS, as chronic inflammation is often associated with the condition.

Understanding the importance of counter postures. This image shows how Apanasana (Knees to Chest) is a perfect counter to Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) to release the lower back.

Matsyasana (Fish Pose) is the classic counter pose to Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand). It releases tension in the neck and opens the chest after the deep flexion of the shoulder stand.

About Yoga Tips & Knowledge

Alignment isn't just about how a pose looks; it's the difference between healing your back and causing new injury. We constantly see students rushing into postures like Ashwa Sanchalanasana without securing their knees, which often leads to joint strain. Yoga is meant to be a therapy, not a workout that leaves you in pain the next day. Small adjustments in your daily practice can significantly shift your body out of 'fight or flight' mode.

Namaste, we’re Shreya and Prashant. We started Chaitanya Wellness because we saw too many people in Bangalore using yoga as a band-aid rather than a real fix. We don't believe in generic flows; we teach you how to listen to your body and adjust your practice so you’re actually healing, whether you're working through back pain or hormonal imbalances.
