Instead, think of them as a dialogue between your body and our guidance. When we assist you in a posture, we are not forcing you deeper; we are showing you how to engage your muscles and breath so you can find that alignment safely on your own the next time you step on the mat. ### Our Approach to Alignment Yoga is a path, and every student walks it differently. In our Whitefield studio, we see physical adjustments as a tool for deepening awareness, not for correcting 'errors.' Whether you are practicing Parsva Dhanurasana or a simple forward fold, our goal is to help you feel the engagement of your muscles and the depth of your breath. ### The Three-Step Method We don't believe in immediate hands-on intervention. Before touching a student, we follow a specific process to ensure the correction is respectful and effective: 1. **Verbal Cues:** We start by providing clear instructions to help you understand the pose through your own internal focus. 2. **Demonstration:** If the verbal guidance isn't clear, we show the alignment visually. 3. **Physical Assistance:** Only when necessary do we step in, asking for permission first, to provide a gentle adjustment that highlights where your body can create space. ### Why This Matters for Your Practice This method is central to our Hatha Yoga Teacher Training (RYS 200). We teach our students that an adjustment should act as a 'memory' for the body. By feeling the correct spinal alignment or the rotation of a hip, you develop the proprioception needed to practice independently at home. We focus on biomechanics—understanding why a pose works for different bodies—rather than expecting every student to look identical. Our non-residential program at Garden of Samskaras gives you the environment to practice these skills consistently, moving from student to observer, and finally to a guide. ## About Pratyaksha Yoga We are Pratyaksha Yoga. Yashwanth started this journey on the mat, and we’ve grown into a community that values guidance over perfection. We don't just teach poses; we help you see your own path.
