Restorative & Meditative Yoga Sessions
Time to slow down and recharge. My restorative sessions focus on stillness, deep breathing, and the healing power of props, helping you find balance amidst the city's hustle.
Our "Glow & Flow" workshop was a magical evening of candlelight meditation and mindful yoga. It's in these quiet moments, surrounded by community, that we truly reconnect with our souls.
Stillness is not the absence of movement, but the creation of a space to feel and think. Here, we use chairs for a supported backbend, allowing the body to relax completely and the mind to become quiet.
"Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience." Finding stillness in Supta Padmasana (Reclined Lotus Pose) under a tree, I am reminded to slow down and connect with the healing calm of the natural world.
We often prioritize the "workout," but what about the "work in?" My restorative sequences use supported postures like this one to develop emotional stability and allow for deep concentration and relaxation.
From the dynamic energy of Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) to the complete surrender of Savasana. This sequence shows the journey within a single class, moving from effort to ease and finding deep rest.
At the Kamakhya temple, I lit a lamp and reflected on the sacred energy of Shakti. My practice honors this divine feminine power, encouraging a connection to our inner wisdom and strength.
About Restorative & Meditative Sessions
We don't just 'relax'—we use chairs, ropes, and bolsters to support your body so your nervous system can actually switch off. If you’ve struggled with meditation because your mind won't stop racing, these props help hold your body in place, giving your mind the physical permission it needs to truly settle and release deep-seated tension.
Why Props Are Your Best Friend
In my Iyengar-inspired practice, we don't rely on willpower to 'hold' a pose. Instead, we use the wall, wooden blocks, and straps to remove the struggle from the asana. By removing the effort of balancing or stretching, your muscles stop bracing and start melting. It is the fastest way to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system—the 'rest and digest' mode we rarely access in our busy Bengaluru lives.
The 'Work In' Philosophy
We often treat yoga like another item on a to-do list, pushing for intensity. These restorative sessions are different. We prioritize the 'work in'—the internal shifting of energy and breath. Expect sessions that include:
- Yoga Nidra: Guided deep relaxation to clear mental clutter.
- Supported Inversions: Using the rope wall to let gravity do the work, helping with spinal decompression.
- Candlelight Meditation: Creating a sensory space that helps you disconnect from screens and reconnect with yourself.
Who This Is For
Whether you are a runner needing recovery, a working professional dealing with chronic back pain, or simply someone feeling burnt out, this space is for you. My studio at Lavelle Road is a semi-open rooftop, which means we practice with natural ventilation and a view of the sky—a rarity in the city. You don't need to be flexible or have a 'yoga body' to join. You just need to be willing to lie down and let go. Zindagi se pyaar karo, and come give your nervous system the break it deserves.
