Props are not crutches, they are tools for deeper exploration. Whether you need support for an injury or want to safely achieve a complex asana, we use blocks, straps, wheels, and wall ropes to help your body open up.

## About Yoga with Props: Deeper Stretches & Support

If you struggle with tight hamstrings or back pain, do not just push through the discomfort. In our sessions, we use yoga straps to gently extend your reach and yoga wheels to safely release tension in the spine. It is not about forcing your body into a pose, but using these tools to find the alignment that feels right for you today.

Many people think props are only for beginners, but in my classes, I use them to help you refine your practice. Whether you are working on flexibility or trying to hold a challenging asana, tools like blocks, bolsters, and wall ropes provide the feedback your body needs to understand proper alignment.

### Why we use props
* **Safety First:** Using blocks under your hands in poses like Vasisthasana (Side Plank) provides lift and stability, protecting your wrists and shoulders.
* **Deepening Practice:** We use straps to bridge the gap in forward bends, allowing you to focus on the stretch rather than the strain. It helps you stay in the pose long enough to actually reap the benefits.
* **Therapeutic Support:** My wall rope sessions are excellent for spinal traction. They allow you to decompress the spine using gravity, which is a key part of the therapeutic work I do for chronic back pain or frozen shoulder issues.
* **Accessibility:** If you cannot sit on the floor comfortably, we use chairs and bolsters to modify the asana, ensuring everyone can participate regardless of physical limitations.

I personally oversee every session, providing hands-on adjustments to ensure you are using the equipment correctly. This is not just about stretching; it is about building awareness of your body so you can practice safely, whether you are at our Greater Kailash or Vasant Kunj studios, or at the Kailash Health Village in Noida.
