About this collection
You do not need an hour of free time to see the benefits of a practice. The sequences in this collection are designed to be quick, focused, and effective for common daily issues like lower back stiffness or anxiety. If you are specifically dealing with back pain from sitting at a desk, try the Cat-Cow or Puppy Pose variations I have listed here. They provide immediate relief by decompressing the spine, and you can fit them into a short break between your meetings.
Finding Balance in the Everyday
I created Mudra Yoga because I wanted a space that acknowledges the messy, difficult, and tiring days. Yoga for everyday wellness is not about mastering advanced asanas. It is about using movement to signal to your nervous system that it is safe to relax.
Why these sequences work
- Back & Neck Relief: If you have a sedentary job in Bengaluru, you know the specific tension that builds in the shoulders and lower back. These poses target the exact muscles that stiffen after hours of typing.
- Restorative Rest: We often carry our stress into our sleep. My nighttime routines focus on the parasympathetic nervous system, using supported poses like Legs Up the Wall to help you wind down naturally.
- Digestion & Energy: Sometimes, we just need a gentle boost. From twists that aid digestion to morning flows that wake up your circulation, these movements are meant to be gentle, not exhausting.
How to practice with me
Whether you are a complete beginner or looking for a way to build a consistent routine, I invite you to join my community. I host small-batch classes at my rooftop studio in Malleshwaram, where we focus on Hatha and Vinyasa styles. If coming in person is not an option, I also conduct live online classes where I can provide verbal corrections to ensure you are moving safely. Remember, the goal is not to perform, but to feel a little lighter and more connected by the end of each session.
