Hands-on Yoga Alignment and Adjustments in Gurgaon
My teaching is direct and physical. Here, we use hands-on adjustments and traditional props to refine your asana practice with precision and safety.
I am assisting a student to safely deepen his backbend into Purna Chakrasana. This kind of support helps build confidence and proper muscular engagement for advanced postures.
Correcting alignment in Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog) is fundamental. A hands-on adjustment helps the student understand the feeling of a truly extended spine.
Here, I am guiding a student in Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose). The adjustment helps her to rotate her torso open and extend fully from her back foot to her fingertips.
Assisting a student with a standing backbend. My support at the lower back encourages him to lift his chest and bend from the thoracic spine, not just the lumbar region.
Demonstrating the correct spinal articulation for a backbend before students attempt the pose. This is followed by individual assistance to ensure everyone is practicing safely.
Guiding a student into the full expression of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (One-Legged King Pigeon Pose). This adjustment helps with both the hip opening and the shoulder flexibility required.
In the intermediate series of Ashtanga, poses like this require careful guidance. I am helping a student find the correct form and depth in a challenging seated forward bend.
A student receives an adjustment in a deep forward fold. This hands-on technique helps release tension in the lower back and hamstrings, allowing for a safer and more effective stretch.
Guiding a student through the steps of a deep lunge and backbend. My instruction and support help her move into the pose with correct alignment, touching her head to her foot.
In our adjustment classes, students learn the principles of proper alignment. Here, I am demonstrating the correct stance and pelvic position for a standing pose.
About Hands-on Alignment & Adjustments
In these sessions, you are not just following a flow. I physically guide your body—manually adjusting your shoulders, spine, or hips—to show you exactly where the engagement should be. This is not about making a shape look good; it is about feeling the muscle activation and structural stacking required to hold poses like Adho Mukha Svanasana or complex backbends without risking injury. You will leave with a clear sense of what your body is actually doing in each pose.
Many students come to me after practicing for years, yet they remain stuck on the same plateau. This happens when you repeat a pose with the same misalignment, over and over. My alignment workshops at AumYogaShala break this cycle. We focus on the anatomy of movement—how your scapula rotates, where your pelvic diaphragm sits, and how to distribute weight through your joints.
Props are central to my method. We use Iyengar-style chairs, wooden blocks, and wall ropes not as crutches, but as intelligent tools to map your body's potential. When I adjust you, it is to wake up dormant muscles and correct the subconscious habits that block your progress. Whether we are tackling deep backbends or inverted balances, the goal is always stability before depth.
Expect to sweat, yes, but expect to think even more. I often stop the class to explain the skeletal mechanics of a movement. This is serious practice for those ready to move past the superficial layer of yoga. If you are struggling with specific pain points or hitting a wall in your self-practice, these sessions offer the technical roadmap to move forward safely.
