## About Restorative & Therapeutic Yoga

In these restorative classes, we don't just 'stretch.' We use heavy props like bolsters, rimless chairs, and wall ropes to create passive openings that your muscles cannot achieve on their own. Whether you are using a chair for a supported backbend to open the chest or ropes for spinal traction, every setup is calculated to align your skeletal structure and calm the nervous system. It is about understanding where your body holds tension—like the lower back or the neck—and giving it the exact prop support it needs to finally let go.

### Precision Through Props
Iyengar yoga is not about flow; it is about intelligence in movement. In our therapeutic sessions at the Andheri West studio, props are not crutches. They are essential tools for anatomical alignment. We use specific setups to address chronic issues like sciatica, stiff shoulders, or general fatigue. When we practice Supta Baddha Konasana with belts, or use Viparita Karani boxes for inversions, we are removing the physical effort of holding a pose so the body can focus on structural recovery.

### Why This Works for You
Most people think yoga needs to be sweaty or fast. My approach is the opposite. By holding poses for longer with support, we shift from the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) to the parasympathetic (rest and digest). This is why my students find relief from back pain and stress—we are not just exercising, we are correcting posture and re-educating the body. 

### Who Should Join?
This is for everyone. If you have an injury, if you are pregnant, or if you are a beginner who thinks they aren't 'flexible' enough, you are exactly who these props are for. We have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, where we focus on breaking down every asana. We don't rush. We take our time to breathe and understand the alignment. If you are ready to stop forcing your body and start understanding it, this is where you begin.

## About Iyengar Yoga

I teach Iyengar yoga with a focus on precision and healing. For me, yoga is a deep study of anatomy, and my classes are designed to help you align your body, manage pain, and find genuine rest through the correct use of props.
