I call out names to correct alignment, just like being in a physical studio. This ensures you are moving safely and feeling the stretch exactly where you should, without the anxiety of needing to get the pose perfect the first time. Yoga often looks intimidating—complex arm balances or perfectly straight legs in pictures—but my classes are built differently. We focus on 'Sabr aur Shukr' (patience and gratitude), understanding that your body has its own unique journey. If you are starting from scratch or haven't moved much in years, you belong here. In my live classes, we combine Hatha for grounding and Ashtanga for a gentle flow. I place a huge emphasis on props and modifications. If a hamstring stretch feels too intense, we use blocks. If your lower back is tight from sitting at a desk, we find a gentle variation that offers relief instead of strain. You are never left to guess if you are doing it right. My approach: - Real-time interaction: I conduct live, interactive video sessions. I will verbally correct your posture, ensuring you stay safe. - Progress over perfection: We break down complex poses into small, manageable steps. You do not need to touch your toes today to start practicing. - Consistency: By breaking flows into 60-minute blocks, we keep things sustainable. Whether you are dealing with stiffness or simply need to build a routine that sticks, my goal is to help you feel stronger, not just physically but mentally. Start where you are, use what you have, and trust that your practice will grow. ## About Mayura Pednekar Hi, I am Mayura. I started my own practice feeling nervous and totally unsure, so I understand exactly where you are standing right now. My classes are a safe space where we drop the pressure to perform and focus on how the movement actually feels in your body.
