I use household props like chairs and even buckets to design strength-focused yoga specifically for runners. Whether you are dealing with a tight IT band or need to build glute stability for race day, my sessions are designed to move you toward real, measurable performance improvements. ### Real Results for Real Runners I am not just a yoga teacher; I am a runner who knows the pain, breathlessness, and the massive high of hitting a personal best. My practice is born from that experience. I don't believe in sessions where you just stretch and snooze. We do high-intensity, plyometric-infused sequences that build core strength and fix the biomechanical imbalances that lead to injuries. ### How We Train Whether you join me for live online sessions or come out to the park, the goal remains the same: * **Online Strength & Mobility:** We use props you already have—pillows, chairs, sticks—to turn your living room into a functional training lab. I provide real-time form correction via Zoom so you are not just following along; you are actually getting better. * **Outdoor Coaching:** If you are in Bengaluru, join us at Cubbon Park or KTPO (Whitefield). We hit the mats post-run for partner-assisted drills and hands-on adjustments that target your specific recovery needs. ### The "Champions" Tribe We are a community first. We train, we suffer through the hard days, and we celebrate the wins. We have done everything from 108 Surya Namaskars to pacing for Bengaluru’s biggest races. This is not about looking flexible; it is about getting back on the road, staying injury-free, and chasing your next PB. Yoga se he hoga! ## About Neera Katwal I am a doctor, a runner, and a coach who thinks training shouldn’t be boring. I train my 'Champions' tribe to get FITTER, FASTER, STRONGER through gritty, effective yoga that actually supports your running goals.
