By using belts, chairs, and blocks, we align the body precisely to experience the true depth of every asana safely. ## Photos and videos - ![Using a belt around the lower ribs while seated on a chair for pranayama preparation.

Whether using a chair to support a twist or a belt to open the ribcage, these aids help you find the correct anatomical frame. This allows your body to safely adapt to the demands of the asana while you build long-term strength and stability. In our practice, we use props to bridge the gap between where your body is today and the full expression of an asana. When you struggle to reach the floor in Trikonasana or feel strain in your lower back during a backbend, your body is signaling that the structure is not yet aligned. Props allow us to create space in the joints and muscles, letting you work with intention rather than forcing a shape that causes injury. ### Why We Use Props * **Precision:** Props help you isolate and correct specific muscles, ensuring your practice is effective and safe. * **Access:** Whether you are dealing with a stiff back, recovering from an injury, or just starting, props make poses accessible. * **Longevity:** By supporting the body, we can hold poses longer, which is necessary for the therapeutic benefits to take root. * **Alignment:** Using belts or chair supports provides the external resistance needed to align the spine and shoulders correctly. We do not just perform the yoga; we study the 'how' and 'why' behind every movement. Whether you are in my Katwaria Sarai studio or joining online, we work with the body you have today. If you have chronic stiffness, neck pain, or are managing old injuries, these props are essential for your recovery. We are not looking for a quick fix, but a disciplined path to understanding the connection between your body, mind, and self. ## About Amina Sarkar Bharat Ram I am Amina, a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher.
