It is not about jumping into a handstand. It is about shoulder stability. I use blocks and the wall to ensure your alignment is spot on before you ever try to lift your feet. This way, we ensure you don't break, you just bend. Arm balances and inversions like the Crow Pose (Bakasana) or Headstands look aesthetic, but they are results of consistent work. In my practice, we don't rush. If you are starting from zero—like I did when I couldn't even do knee push-ups—we focus on the foundational strength first. We will use props like yoga blocks, straps, and wall support to build your confidence. The wall is your best friend when learning to invert; it allows you to feel the weight distribution without the fear of falling. We break down complex flows, such as transitioning from Crow to a tripod headstand, into manageable steps. This is about building core control, not just showing off a pose. Whether we are doing this online or in person in Bengaluru, the goal remains the same: steady progress, real-time form correction, and a disciplined approach to your mat. ## About Priya I'm Priya. Two years ago, I couldn't do a handstand to save my life, so I get the fear. I am not here to push you into poses; I am here to build the discipline and strength so your body gets there on its own.
