Chronic pain is not something you just have to endure. Using the scientific precision of the Iyengar method, I help you move beyond masking symptoms, focusing instead on realigning your spine and releasing the tension holding your body back.

## About Therapeutic Yoga: Healing Through Movement

If you are dealing with a slip disc or persistent back pain, stop going to the gym. Running or heavy lifting will only stress an already compromised spine. In these therapeutic classes, we use props like wall ropes and bolsters not to make the pose easier, but to precisely align your vertebrae and create the space your nerves need to recover.

### The Science of Correct Alignment

Most people treat pain by trying to 'stretch it out' or mask it with medication. This is a mistake. When your body is misaligned, you are essentially a leaking beaker; your energy—or *pran shakti*—is spilling out, leading to stiffness, compressed vertebrae, and organ pressure. My therapeutic classes are designed to plug these leaks.

### Why Props Are Not Optional

Many think yoga blocks and ropes are for beginners. In my studio, they are medical equipment. If you have scoliosis, post-surgery weakness, or sciatica, your body cannot support itself in a standard pose. We use teak bricks, bolsters, and wall ropes to suspend the body, removing gravity’s load from your joints. This allows us to target specific muscle groups and spinal segments safely.

### The 10-Day Shift

I don't offer vague promises. In my medical batches, we focus on functional movement patterns. Whether you are recovering from a disc bulge or chronic neck stiffness, the goal is simple: restore your bilateral symmetry. Students often report a noticeable difference in their pain threshold within just 10 sessions. You aren't here to become a gymnast; you are here to reclaim your ability to sit, walk, and sleep without wincing.

### What to Expect

This is not a group flow class. We assess your physical condition—be it a herniated disc or postural imbalance—and adjust the practice accordingly. Expect hands-on corrections and a curriculum that prioritizes safety over intensity.

## About Nivedita Joshi

I am Nivedita. I don’t teach you to copy poses; I teach you to understand the mechanics of your own structure. My studio in Mandi House isn't a gym; it is a lab for your healing. We identify the root of your discomfort and use specific Iyengar props to correct it, one alignment at a time.
