That is completely okay. In my workshops, we use props like chairs and blocks to safely get you into those ranges, so you can build strength without worrying about falling or getting hurt. It is not about nailing the pose perfectly on day one; it is about learning the mechanics so your body feels capable and strong. Advanced poses like Fallen Angel or Hanumanasana often look like end goals, but they are really just mile markers on your journey. My approach to teaching these is simple: we focus on anatomy and mechanics to keep you safe, not just to look good in a photo. Whether it is a 90-minute inversion clinic or an arm balance workshop, we prioritize your structural integrity. I do not want you to just copy a shape. I want you to understand how to engage your core, where to place your weight, and when it is okay to back off. In our sessions, we use walls, blocks, and chairs to simulate poses that might feel out of reach. This builds the muscle memory and confidence you need to practice independently, even when you are not in the studio. We also incorporate somatic movement, which helps you stay connected to your breath rather than getting lost in the intensity of the stretch. Come for the challenge, stay for the shift in perspective. ## About Curly Yoga Girl I am Taari, and I believe yoga is for real life. My practice is not about being naturally bendy, it is about feeling strong and capable in your own skin. Join me on the mat to move, breathe, and break some myths.
