Hands-On Adjustments for Safe Yoga Practice
I use tactile adjustments and props like blocks and straps to help you master alignment. Join my Ashtanga workshops in Delhi for personalized guidance that makes advanced poses accessible.
Here I am guiding a student through a chest-opening exercise using blocks for support. I give instructions in a mix of Hindi and English, like "pair seedha karo pura," to make it clear. The high-five at the end shows the supportive and encouraging environment we build.
Learning advanced poses requires safe and proper technique. In this clip, I am assisting a student with a deep backbend using a chair, ensuring his spine is supported as he moves into the posture.
This is an example of an advanced backbend adjustment. I am helping a student find more depth in Ustrasana (Camel Pose) while ensuring her lower back is safe. This level of support helps you progress without injury.
"Yoga se he hoga." It will only happen through yoga. This is my core belief. Whether it's a challenging arm balance or a deep stretch, I am there to support my students every step of the way.
The headstand, or Sirsasana, is a favorite for many. Here, I am providing support to a student as she learns to balance, counting her breaths to help her hold the pose steadily. Safety is the first priority in inversions.
Practice, practice, practice is the only way to perfection. This video shows a student transitioning from a handstand into a backbend with my assistance. It proves there are no limitations to what your body can do when you believe in yourself.
Inversions require more mental strength than physical. I am helping this student find her balance in a handstand, reminding her to stay focused. This builds not just physical strength but also mental resilience.
About this collection
I do not just demonstrate poses and expect you to mimic them from afar. Whether it is a deep backbend or a complex inversion, I use hands-on guidance to physically place your body in the correct alignment. This ensures you feel the stretch in the right muscle groups rather than straining your lower back or joints during your practice.
Many people fear advanced asanas because they believe they lack the inherent flexibility or strength to perform them safely. At our Dwarka and Vikaspuri studios, I break these mental barriers by using specialized props like metal chairs, wall ropes, and blocks. These are not crutches for weakness. They are precise tools to map your body's potential and build stability.
When I assist you in a backbend, I am there to support your spine. This provides the security you need to drop back or lift higher with confidence. You will hear me counting in Sanskrit, Ekam, dve, trini, which keeps the rhythm of your breath steady throughout the movement.
This is not a hands-off studio. I believe in active correction because a small tweak in your hand placement or foot angle changes the entire benefit of an asana. If you have been struggling with consistent practice or fear getting stuck, come for a trial session. We focus on progress, not perfection. Yog se he hoga.
