Movement is not about reaching a perfect pose; it is about finding a language for your body’s needs. I offer gentle yoga and somatic movement designed to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself.

## About Gentle Movement & Yoga for Wellness

My approach to yoga is less about fitness and more about establishing a quiet conversation with your body. Whether you are navigating the physical strain of long hours at a desk, the hormonal changes of menopause, or the emotional weight of a major life transition, we prioritize nervous system regulation over athletic achievement. These sessions create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can stop pushing your body and start listening to what it truly needs.

Gentle movement is a form of deep self-care. When I work with students, we move away from the expectation of achieving perfect asanas and toward somatic awareness. 

### Supporting Life Transitions
I specialize in helping women navigate significant shifts, such as menopause or postnatal recovery. We utilize specific breathwork (pranayama) and restorative poses to help manage symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or hot flashes. This is about working with your body’s current rhythm, not fighting against it.

### Practical Relief for Professionals
If you are a working parent or a tech professional spending long hours at a screen, we focus on 'desk yoga'—small, accessible sequences that release shoulder, neck, and lower back tension. These are practical, quick interventions you can weave into a busy day to prevent burnout.

### The Experience
Every session is an invitation to pause. We combine gentle Hatha, Yin-inspired stretching, and somatic movement to help you release stored tension. 

- **In-Person:** Sessions held at my private studio in Challaghatta, Bangalore.
- **Virtual:** We connect via Zoom to build a sustainable home practice.

Whether you are looking for relief from chronic pain or a way to quiet a racing mind, we work together to find the right sequence for your current chapter.
