Yoga Therapy Credentials & Therapeutic Approach

My approach is built on a Master's degree in Yoga Therapy from SVYASA, but my real classroom has been the countless hours spent working with people dealing with everything from chronic back pain to hormonal imbalances. I treat yoga as a medical intervention, not just a workout.

Why Clinical Yoga Matters

Unlike general fitness classes, therapeutic yoga focuses on specific biomechanics. If you are struggling with a disc issue or stiff joints, we avoid the 'pretzel' poses that look good on Instagram but can be harmful. Instead, we focus on alignment, using props like Iyengar-style wall ropes, wooden bricks, and chairs to support your body's specific limitations.

The Holistic Method

I believe in the principle of 'Sthiram Sukham Asanam'—finding stability and comfort in your pose. If you are not comfortable, you are not healing. This is why I integrate:

• Breathwork (Pranayama): To calm your nervous system and manage anxiety.
• Nutrition Counseling: Since 80% of your health starts in the kitchen, we address inflammation through your diet.
• Manual Adjustments: Hands-on guidance to ensure your spine is aligned safely during practice.

Whether you are a senior needing chair-assisted movement or someone recovering from an injury, my goal is to guide you through a practice that honors where your body is today, rather than pushing it toward an arbitrary standard. We keep it simple, consistent, and science-backed.
