Power Yoga Classes for Strength and Flexibility
Yoga is not just about touching your toes. I focus on building core strength and steady flexibility through dynamic flows that work for your body, not against it.
My practice is built on a simple truth: strength gives you roots, and flexibility gives you wings. This video shows a dynamic flow into Urdhva Dhanurasana, or Wheel Pose, demonstrating how we build a stable foundation to safely explore deeper expressions of a pose.
Using the wall is a fantastic way to build confidence and strength for inversions. In this wall-assisted handstand drill, we focus on core stability, shoulder mobility, and arm strength, breaking down the components you need to eventually fly on your own.
For all the runners out there, this one's for you. Proper stretching is key for injury prevention and recovery. This video shows a simple yet effective wall routine to open up the hips, hamstrings, and calves after a run.
Props are your friends, not a sign of weakness. Here, I'm using a yoga strap to gently deepen the stretch in Natarajasana, or Dancer's Pose. This allows for a safer, more effective heart and shoulder opener, regardless of your current flexibility.
In the quiet of the studio, we find our power. This is a variation of Eka Pada Urdhva Dhanurasana, or One-Legged Wheel Pose, a deep backbend that requires full-body engagement, focus, and a strong connection to the breath.
Yoga is a shared journey. Here I am with my students, exploring Mermaid Pose together. My classes are a space for us to breathe, learn, and grow as a community, supporting each other through every part of the practice.
There is a special kind of peace that comes from practicing in nature. Holding Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, or Extended Hand-To-Big-Toe Pose, against a sunrise reminds me of the balance we seek both on and off the mat.
About this collection
My sessions are capped at 8-12 students because I believe in actual form correction, not just watching a screen. Whether you join me on the mat at my studio or log in via Zoom, you get the same real-time adjustments and personal cues to keep your practice safe and effective.
I view yoga as a balance between hard work and deep restoration. My approach combines the intensity of Power Yoga to build core stability and endurance with targeted mobility drills that help you move with freedom. Strength gives you roots, and flexibility gives you wings. We work on both.
Why My Approach Works
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all routines. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner working on inversions, we focus on consistent abhyaas (practice). If you are struggling with a pose, we use props like blocks, straps, and wheels—not to make things easier, but to build proper alignment and prevent injury. My goal is to make these advanced shapes accessible to every body type.
Hybrid Flexibility
Life in a busy city like Bengaluru often means your schedule changes. That is why I offer hybrid classes. You can choose to practice in-person at my studio for that group energy, or join live via Zoom if you are traveling or short on time. Online students get the same attention, with live spot-checks and verbal cues during the flow.
More Than Just a Workout
I want you to leave the mat feeling better than when you arrived. While we prioritize functional strength and posture, we also include active recovery, foam rolling, and deep stretches. This is particularly useful for athletes, runners, or anyone dealing with tight hips and shoulders from desk work. Yoga is a conversation between teacher and student, and I am here to help you breathe, learn, and grow, one session at a time. It is my sukoon, and I hope it becomes yours too.
Richa Kumar
Hi, I’m Richa. I believe yoga should be your sukoon—your peace—rather than another item on your to-do list. Whether you find me on the mat with my two Shih Tzus or out running marathons, I’m always learning and keeping it real.
