## About Yoga for Every Body: Our Prop-Assisted Method

Most yoga classes assume you are starting from a place of perfect health, but I know that is rarely the case. My sessions in Rajajinagar are built around accessibility, using simple props like chairs, blocks, and wall ropes to support your body right where it is. Before we start, I perform a pulse and body diagnosis to understand your unique Dosha balance, ensuring the asana sequence I teach is tailored to your specific condition—whether you are dealing with sciatica, thyroid issues, or a chronically stiff back from long desk hours.

When you use a chair for a backbend or a belt for a stretch, you are not cheating. You are giving your nervous system the confidence to let go. This is how we tackle complex issues like slip disc or spondylitis safely. We hold poses long enough for muscles to actually release tension, rather than just stretching them for a split second.

My approach blends ancient yogic science with modern anatomy. You will learn exactly why we do a specific asana, not just how. 

My practice focuses on three pillars:

*   **Prop-Supported Asanas:** I use wall ropes for traction and specialized benches for deep, restorative backbends that open the chest and spine safely.
*   **Condition-Specific Protocols:** We use targeted movements to help manage metabolic issues like diabetes or hormonal imbalances like PCOD.
*   **Daily Consistency:** My program allows for 7-day-a-week access, which I have found is crucial for getting real, measurable therapeutic results.

This is not about looking perfect in a pose. It is about creating a practice you can sustain, even on the days you feel tired or stiff. If you have been struggling to find a yoga class that accommodates your limitations rather than ignoring them, come by the studio. Let's see what actually works for your body.
