Personal Guidance and Pose Correction
Yoga is not just about moving; it is about moving correctly. I provide hands-on adjustments and detailed techniques to help you practice safely, deepen your asanas, and build a sustainable habit.
A common question I get is whether to do Asana or Pranayama first. In this video, I explain the classical sequence from the Ashtanga Yoga path and why it's structured that way.
How should you breathe during asanas? I explain the simple logic: exhale when the body contracts (forward bends) and inhale when it expands (backbends). Understanding this syncs your movement with your life force, or prana.
Small corrections can make a big difference. This video shows a common mistake in a forward bend and how a simple adjustment can protect your back and deepen the pose correctly.
What is an 'Asana'? Patanjali defines it as "Sthira Sukham Asanam" – a posture that is steady and comfortable. I explain what this means and how to find that state in your own practice.
About Personal Guidance & Pose Correction
Most students worry about touching their toes, but I focus on the structural integrity of the posture, or what Patanjali called 'Sthira Sukham' (steadiness and comfort). Whether you are struggling with a backbend or a simple forward fold, I provide hands-on adjustments and verbal cues to ensure your alignment protects your spine rather than straining it.
Precision in Practice
Often, we try to imitate a posture without understanding the underlying mechanics. At my studio in Paschim Vihar, we use props like wall ropes, yoga wheels, and blocks to bridge the gap between where your body is now and where it needs to be. This is not about rushing into advanced poses, but about understanding how your body moves.
The Iyengar Approach to Safety
I rely on Iyengar-style alignment principles to make yoga therapeutic. This means we analyze your specific mobility restrictions—be it tight hamstrings, desk-job stiffness, or chronic back pain—and tailor the adjustments. You are not just one face in a crowd. I watch your video feed in live online classes or stand next to you in the studio to correct your posture in real-time.
Correcting Common Pitfalls
One common error is breathing incorrectly during asanas. I teach a simple rule: exhale during contraction, such as forward folds, and inhale during expansion, such as backbends. Understanding this syncs your internal energy with the physical work. If you have been struggling with pain or lack of progress, it is usually because the technique is slightly off. Let us fix that together, so you can build strength without injury.
