In my sessions, we stop obsessing over the final 'pretty' pose and focus on the mechanics of falling. Whether it's Crow or Pincha, I teach you how to use the wall and props so you can practice without the constant fear of crashing. It’s about building the shoulder and core strength to hold yourself up, not just balancing for a second. ### It’s Physics, Not Magic Arm balances and Pincha Mayurasana look intimidating, but they aren't about being 'born flexible.' They are about weight distribution, shoulder stability, and core engagement. If you’ve been trying to 'jump' into these poses without success, you're likely missing the structural foundation. My workshops in Powai and Andheri focus on exactly that—deconstructing the pose so you understand how to use your muscles, not just your momentum. ### Why Practice With Me? * **Small Batches:** My in-person workshops at Svadhyaya Yoga Studio in Powai are limited to 10-15 people. This isn't for numbers; it’s so I can physically spot you and fix your alignment. You can’t learn to lift if you don't know what ‘stacked’ feels like. * **The Wall is Your Friend:** We use walls for support to get over the fear of falling. Once you learn how to fall safely, the mental block disappears. * **No Fluff:** My online and in-person sessions are about biomechanics. We don't do unnecessary chanting. We do shoulder drills, wrist prep, and core conditioning. * **Online Accessibility:** If you can't make it to Mumbai, my online classes bring the same technique-heavy approach to your living room. We use what you have—a wall, a sofa, or books for blocks. Whether you’re working on Crow Pose or trying to hold a steady Pincha, my goal is to get you comfortable with the process—the grunting, the falling, and eventually, the lift. ## About Charu I’m Charu. I built my own practice from a place of chronic back pain and struggle, so I know exactly where you’re stuck. I don’t believe in showing off; I teach the raw technique of how to lift your body weight, safely.
