Advanced Ashtanga Yoga Practice in Bangalore
See what disciplined Ashtanga looks like. I demonstrate these advanced asanas, but real progress happens in the daily, consistent work we do together.
When she's interested in yoga and handstands, you show up. A little fun at the gym, playing with a handstand press and straddle.
A random day with my handstand practice. Consistency is what turns difficult poses into a moving meditation.
A quick handstand check. The journey to holding a handstand is a practice in patience, strength, and overcoming fear.
Flying is hard, but once you learn, it's easy. This applies to handstands and to life. The initial effort is the biggest barrier; after that, you find freedom.
Come, I'll teach you. Finding a beautiful spot in nature to practice handstands adds another layer of connection and joy to the practice.
This is a short inversion flow, moving from a supported Headstand (Shirshasana) to a Forearm Stand (Pinchamayurasana). These transitions build control and strength.
A dynamic flow from Forearm Stand (Pinchamayurasana) to Baby Crow Pose. This sequence challenges your balance, core, and arm strength.
Don't ever laugh at someone's beginning. This was me practicing a handstand transition. Every expert was once a beginner. The key is to keep practicing.
Floating in my yoga flow. This clip shows a transition from a standing forward bend into an arm balance, a key element of the Ashtanga vinyasa system.
I asked Alexa to disable gravity. This is a playful look at a floating transition from handstand to a one-legged arm balance.
About Advanced Ashtanga Practice
You see handstands and complex transitions in these clips, but do not get distracted by the fancy shape. The real magic is not in holding the pose for a photo; it is in the months of repetitive, boring core drills that build the stability to get there. I only show you the technique, but the hard work on the mat is yours to do. If you are ready to stop watching screens and actually start training, I can help you build that foundation.
Many people approach me asking how to master a handstand or an arm balance in a week. The truth is, my advanced practice is simply the result of years of consistent, breath-led movement. I do not teach shortcuts.
My classes for advanced practice focus on three core pillars:
- Foundation First: Before we float into an inversion, we drill shoulder stability and core engagement. If the foundation is shaky, the pose will never hold.
- Breath-Led Flow: Ashtanga is not just gym movement. We use Ujjayi breathing to control the nervous system while under the physical stress of an inversion.
- Safe Modification: I teach you how to fall. Knowing how to exit a pose safely is the mark of a true practitioner.
Whether you are training in my Bellandur studio or following my online routine, the goal remains the same: building functional strength that serves your body off the mat. We work on drills to open hips, strengthen wrists, and train your mind to focus under pressure. This is not for the faint of heart, but for those who want to see what their body is truly capable of.
