I use prop-based asanas to safely decompress your spine and restore natural movement. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This is my go-to asana for clients with a slip disc.

In my Rajajinagar studio, we use props like wall ropes and bolsters to create traction. This allows you to decompress your spine and open your chest without putting excess strain on your lower back or neck, making the healing process safe even for those with chronic pain. Back pain often manifests as sciatica, slip disc issues, or general lumbar stiffness. Many people avoid yoga because they think they need to be flexible to start, but that is exactly backwards. We use yoga to become flexible, not the other way around. ### How Prop-Based Yoga Works We use tools like wooden bricks, foam blocks, and wall ropes (Kurunta) to modify asanas. For instance, if you are struggling with a slip disc, we avoid direct spinal loading. Instead, we use wall ropes to hang in supported inversions, which gently separates the vertebrae and relieves pressure on compressed nerves. ### What We Focus On - **Traction Therapy:** Using ropes to create space between vertebrae. - **Alignment Correction:** Unlike large classes where you are left to copy the teacher, I focus on correcting your individual form in our Mysore-style setting. - **Targeted Asanas:** We practice movements like Bhujangasana (Cobra) to strengthen the spinal erectors and Shalabasana (Locust) to engage the core without straining the lumbar region. ### Addressing Your Condition Whether you are dealing with a diagnosed condition like sciatica or simply chronic stiffness from a desk job, the approach remains the same: we stop the activities aggravating your spine and introduce movements that restore the natural curve of your back. This is not about 'fixing' yourself in a week. It is about understanding how your body moves and giving it the support it needs to heal over time. If you are tired of temporary relief and want a practical, daily routine, come visit the studio in Rajajinagar for an assessment. ## About Nirmala Yoga I am here to show you that a stiff back is not a life sentence. My own journey with yoga changed when I stopped trying to force my body to look like a picture and started using props to support where I actually am today. I will help you find that same support so you can move without the nagging pain.
