My personal practice is about testing my own biomechanics and discipline. Here is how I stay grounded. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A glimpse into my outdoor practice, connecting with nature while exploring inversions like handstands and backbends like Urdhva Dhanurasana.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/818e2bc3-6849-4323-a35d-181517492d6f) - [Video: A sequence of advanced asanas including handstand variations and Eka Pada Sirsasana, demonstrating control and mobility.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/475dda30-2460-432e-b986-9fa6a5759766) - [Video: A flow including Bakasana (Crow Pose) and Hanumanasana (splits), showing the integration of strength and flexibility in my practice.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/62d4b1f7-510b-482d-87fc-3b2480addebd) - [Video: The beauty of asanas is experienced best without frustration and expectations.

In my practice, you will see me working through arm balances and inversions not to show off, but to maintain my own strength and joint health. This is how I live what I teach. Before you reach out, understand that I do not offer fitness classes or aesthetic training. My focus is strictly on clinical therapy and biomechanical integrity. Why I practice this way: Yoga is often marketed as a way to sculpt a beach body or achieve Instagram-famous flexibility. I reject that completely. My personal asana practice is a laboratory of sorts. Whether I am holding a handstand or working through a hip opener, I am looking for structural alignment, not a photo opportunity. The Role of Asanas in Therapy: I use these movements to understand how the body responds to stress and gravity. When I teach you, I am drawing from the data I gather from my own body. If I cannot explain the mechanics of a movement without using a prop, I do not teach it. This is why you see me practicing with just a mat, sometimes with my dogs running around. What to expect from my sessions: - No gimmicks: You will not find face yoga or kundalini activation here. - Clinical focus: My methods are rooted in therapeutic principles. If you have a herniated disc, chronic back pain, or joint stiffness, we address that. - Online accessibility: I train people globally. We use verbal cues to build proprioception so you do not rely on me being physically present to correct your form. Shraddha (faith) is mandatory. If you are looking for a quick fix to lose five kilos in a week, you are in the wrong place. But if you are ready to put in the work to fix your internal health, let’s talk. ## About Manjunath Murthy I am Manjunath Murthy. I have a Master's in Yoga Therapy and spent years working at NIMHANS, but I found that real healing happens when we strip away the noise. I teach to help you fix your own body, not to build a following.
