Because we all have different skeletal structures, I focus on 'shapes' that you can adapt to honor your own range of motion. We use props like bolsters or blankets to support you, letting gravity handle the work so you can finally stop pushing and just melt into the release. When I talk about Yin Yoga, I am talking about finding a quiet, functional approach to movement. My goal is not to get you into a specific aesthetic; it is to help you target the connective tissues, joints, and fascia where we tend to store the most stress. In this library, you will see how I approach shapes like the Butterfly, Shoelace, and Rolling Panda. You will notice that my technique involves 'variable anatomy'—the simple truth that your femur or hip socket might be shaped differently than mine, which changes how a shape feels. Instead of pushing into pain, we find the 'edge' where your body feels a gentle, sustainable sensation. Whether you are attending my in-person workshops at the Shoonya Centre in Bangalore or joining my online membership from home, the practice remains the same: * **It is not a workout, it is an 'in-work':** We use long, passive floor holds (3 to 5 minutes) to calm the nervous system. * **Props are your best friends:** Whether it is a bolster or just a folded blanket, props allow your muscles to disengage completely. * **Taoist Wisdom:** I often weave in poetry or simple philosophy to help you shift from a state of 'doing' to 'being'. If you are feeling stiff from long hours at your desk or just need to release the nervous tension of a busy week, these shapes are a perfect way to start. I always invite students to check in with their emotional bandwidth before we start. If you need to rest, you rest. That is the practice. ## About Navya Sah I am Navya. I do not believe in forcing bodies into 'perfect' poses; I believe in finding a shape that makes you feel safe, supported, and released. If you are looking for a space to just be—without the pressure to perform—come practice with me.
