This asana helps us find balance and stability, rooting down into the earth just like a tree. It reminds us that even with the world moving around us, we can find a steady center.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/580bd377-dc90-4cc8-a9e4-fb8829806e94) - ![Here I am in the Himalayas, a place of immense peace.

If you cannot touch your toes, it does not matter. The goal is to move slowly so you can notice where you hold tension, often in the hips or shoulders, and use the pose to release it. My focus is on helping you feel comfortable in your own skin, regardless of your current flexibility. Many students come to me thinking they need to be flexible to start yoga. This is a common misconception. In my classes, we use foundational asanas, like Vrikshasana (Tree Pose), not to show off, but to practice grounding. Think of your body like the banyan tree: you must grow roots deep into the earth before you can reach toward the sky. We break down postures into simple, manageable steps. You will learn to coordinate your movement with your breath, which turns a simple stretch into a meditation. We also focus on what is happening internally. Are you clenching your jaw? Are you holding your breath to get deeper into the pose? Learning to let go of that resistance is where the real yoga happens. These sessions are designed for everyone, from beginners to those wanting to deepen their understanding of mindful movement. Whether you are working from a home setup or a dedicated space, we adapt the poses to your physical reality. By the end of our time together, the goal is not to perform a perfect pose, but to feel a little more at ease within yourself. This is how we move from a restless mind to a restful state. ## About Mohanty I am Master Mohanty.
