Hands-On Yoga Adjustments for Safe Alignment
I provide personal attention and hands-on adjustments to help you deepen your postures and understand the mechanics of each asana, whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner.
Providing a gentle adjustment in a forward fold. This helps the student release tension in the lower back and deepen the stretch in the hamstrings safely.
Here, I am assisting a student in Prasarita Padottanasana, ensuring their spine remains long and they are folding from the hips to protect the lower back.
A hands-on correction in Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) helps with proper torso rotation and shoulder alignment, allowing for a deeper and more beneficial stretch.
"Yog se he hoga." With the right support and consistent practice, even challenging poses like handstand walks become possible. I am here to spot and guide you safely.
Guiding a student in Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) to ensure their arms are parallel to the floor and their stance is strong and stable.
From helping a young student find balance in Tree Pose to assisting an adult with Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, my focus is on providing tailored support for every age and level.
Using the wall for support in Utkatasana and providing assistance in Ustrasana (Camel Pose) are great ways to build strength and flexibility for backbends.
This video shows the adjustment for Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, a challenging standing balance pose. My support helps the student maintain stability while working on their hamstring flexibility.
We begin with the Ashtanga opening chant to center our minds before moving into advanced asana practice. Here, I am assisting a student in a deep seated twist.
Using a strap to assist in a deep backbend. This prop helps the student to open their shoulders and chest safely while I provide support for their back.
About Hands-On Guidance: Safe & Personalised Adjustments
Trying to master a deep stretch or a challenging inversion alone can lead to frustration or, worse, injury. In my sessions, I use physical tactile cues to guide your body into the right alignment. This helps you understand exactly how a pose should feel, so you can safely find your own depth in everything from forward folds to complex backbends.
My teaching approach at Delhi Ashtanga Yoga Shala is built on the principle of 'no perfection, just progress.' When you come to the mat, you are not just repeating movements; you are learning how your body functions. Through the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa counting, we focus on breath-synchronized movement, but I step in to provide hands-on adjustments whenever necessary.
Why Adjustments Matter
Many students struggle with poses like Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) or Prasarita Padottanasana (Wide-Legged Forward Bend) because they do not realize they are rounding their spine or misaligning their hips. My adjustments are about safety and awareness. I help you lengthen the spine, rotate the shoulders correctly, or stabilize your stance, allowing you to get the maximum benefit from the asana without straining your joints.
Accessible Practice with Props
I do not believe in forcing the body into a shape. If you are struggling with flexibility, we use blocks, straps, and walls to bridge the gap. Whether you are training for advanced inversions like Pincha Mayurasana or working on fundamental Surya Namaskars, I am there to spot you, guide your limbs, and ensure you remain stable.
