About Move Your Body: Yoga & Fitness
If you are exercising hard but not seeing results, your muscles might just be too comfortable with your current routine. Changing your workout timing—like shifting 50% of your activity to the evening—or simply adding strength training to your yoga practice can break that plateau. I help you mix movement styles so your body keeps adapting, burning fat, and gaining strength without the burnout.
Movement is the yin to nutrition's yang. My approach to fitness is simple: you need both the calm of yoga and the intensity of strength training to balance your hormones, increase bone density, and improve metabolism.
Why Mix Yoga and Weights?
Many of my clients come to me doing only cardio or only yoga, and then wonder why they aren't seeing inch loss or strength gains.
- Strength Training: Essential for everyone, especially after age 40, to maintain bone density and muscle mass. If you are sitting at a desk all day, lifting weights is the only permanent fix for back pain and poor posture.
- Yoga & Mobility: This is how you prevent injury and recover. I use yoga not just for 'flexibility' but to help your nervous system regulate stress and lower cortisol—a major roadblock for weight loss.
My Approach to Movement
I do not believe in 'no pain, no gain.' I believe in sustainable adaptation.
- Personalized Adaptation: We look at your blood work, your current injuries, and your schedule. If you have knee pain, we don't skip leg day; we modify the squat. If you have only 20 minutes, we do high-intensity circuits that fit.
- The Indiranagar Studio: For those in Bengaluru, we offer in-person sessions to check your form, ensure your alignment is correct, and push you safely.
- Consistency Over Intensity: Whether it is a chair yoga routine for your workspace or a full gym session, the best workout is the one you actually do. Let’s find what works for your life, not just for a season.
