We use specific drills like Dolphin push-ups to build arm and shoulder stability, or dynamic hip openers like Skandasana (Side Lunge) to increase your range of motion. These aren't just aesthetic poses, they are controlled movements designed to build a solid foundation from the inside out, regardless of your starting point. Building strength and flexibility isn't about pushing your body to the limit or achieving a specific shape. It is about understanding what your body needs today. Whether you are dealing with tight hamstrings from sitting at a desk all day or looking to build core stability, we work on it together. My approach at the Mudra rooftop studio in Malleshwaram blends Hatha and Vinyasa. In our Hatha segments, we hold poses like Navasana (Boat Pose) to build deep core engagement, while the Vinyasa flows help us sync breath with movement to build heat and flexibility. We don't use aggressive stretches; we use props like blocks and straps to make these asanas safe and accessible, allowing your muscles to lengthen gradually. ### Why focus on this? - **Functional Strength:** We target the muscles you use every day, helping with posture and reducing back pain. - **Joint Mobility:** From hip openers like Ardha Kapotasana (Half Pigeon) to spinal twists, we keep your joints moving freely. - **Breath-Led Movement:** Every movement is connected to your breath, which helps manage stress while you train. I keep my group sessions small so I can provide hands-on adjustments and ensure your alignment is safe. If you have specific goals, such as improving hamstring flexibility or recovering from an injury, we can tailor the sequences to support that. You don't need to be flexible to start, you just need to show up. ## About Gowri I'm Gowri. I started Mudra when I realized yoga wasn't about being flexible enough to touch your toes, but about the strength you build when you keep showing up. I don't run standard gym-style classes, I teach small, hands-on sessions where we focus on what your body actually needs that day.
