My functional fitness sessions integrate yoga-based mobility with traditional strength training like squats and rows. We use gym equipment—cables, plates, and rollers—specifically to support your yoga practice, ensuring your joints are as strong as they are flexible. Yoga is often seen as just stretching, but my practice is about creating a body that works well for life. Whether you are a marathon runner, a regular at the gym, or someone sitting at a desk all day, your body needs specific kinds of strength. ### Why combine Yoga and Functional Fitness? My sessions bridge the gap between static yoga poses and dynamic movement. By adding functional drills—like cable work, weighted squats, and specialized mobility sequences—we tackle common issues like tight hips, stiff shoulders, and weak core stability. ### What to expect in our sessions: * **Active Recovery & Mobility:** We use foam rollers and dynamic stretches to release fascia and improve joint health. * **Functional Strength:** We focus on compound movements that enhance your ability to move freely in daily life. * **Prop-Assisted Training:** We use yoga wheels and blocks alongside gym tools to safely push your range of motion. In Bengaluru, I work with clients who want more than just a typical class. Whether you are coming to my home studio or need a personalized plan for your gym, we focus on *abhyaas* (practice) to build a foundation that lasts. ## About Richa Kumar Hey, I’m Richa.
