In my shala, we do not force the body into rigid shapes. Instead, we use your breath as the primary tool to clear physical and mental friction, focusing on a sustainable sequence that you can carry home with you. My approach is rooted in the Ashtanga *parampara* (lineage) and my background as an architect. Just as a building requires a solid foundation, your yoga practice needs a clear understanding of alignment and structure. Whether you are coming to me to manage chronic pain or to deepen your existing *sadhana* (daily practice), we start by assessing your current physical state. My Mysore-style classes are highly individualised. I do not provide a generic routine; we observe your movement, adjust the posture to fit your anatomy, and build a sequence that is honest to where you are today. This is not about chasing advanced *asanas*; it is about *svadhyaya* (self-study). Through breath control, mindful movement, and occasional chanting, we peel away the layers of discomfort and tension. This practice is inherently therapeutic—it helps regulate the nervous system, which is why I often work with students dealing with sleep issues or chronic body stiffness. If you are ready to move beyond the aesthetic of yoga and explore its potential for internal change, let's talk about building your unique practice. ## About Sanjana Sekar I'm Sanjana. I spent my early years as an architect, but the pull of the mat changed everything. Now, I guide students through the traditional Ashtanga path, helping them build a practice that honors both their body's limits and its potential.
