Iyengar Yoga Home Practice & Online Sessions
Bring the precision of Iyengar Yoga into your home. I adapt our methodology to your personal environment, using everyday furniture to support your alignment and therapeutic practice.

About At-Home Practice & Online Sessions
In these sessions, we do not simply follow a video. I guide you in using everyday items—like dining chairs for traction or sturdy books for blocks—to replicate the therapeutic benefits of the studio's specialized props. During our live calls, I watch your movement in real-time to correct your alignment, ensuring you practice safely without reinforcing poor habits at home.
Precision Beyond the Studio
Practising yoga at home requires more than just a mat. In the Iyengar tradition, props are essential instruments of precision, not crutches. My online sessions focus on how to adapt your home environment to support your body's specific needs, whether you are managing chronic back pain or seeking to deepen your asana practice.
How We Adapt Your Space
- Household Prop Integration: We find substitutes for studio equipment. A dining table becomes a support for Ardha Uttanasana, while sturdy chairs are used for traction in Adho Mukha Svanasana or to support the spine in restorative twists.
- Real-Time Correction: Online practice often leads to 'doing' without 'understanding.' My sessions prioritize live, verbal adjustments. I observe your posture through the camera, identifying misalignments in your knees, shoulders, or spinal rotation, and guide you to correct them instantly.
- Therapeutic Focus: Whether you are dealing with sciatica, neck stiffness, or stress, we create specific, safe sequences. We use the Viparita Karani (legs-up-the-wall) technique and various supported twists to regulate the nervous system, bringing the same clinical focus used in my Delhi studio to your living room.
Why This Method Works
Iyengar Yoga is an adjustive science. My role is to act as a conduit for this lineage, helping you use the asana to understand your own body's intelligence. By practising with a focus on alignment and breath, you move away from mechanical movement and toward a practice that is truly therapeutic. This approach ensures that even when you are alone in your room, you are never without the discipline and structure required to protect your joints and calm your mind.
