You do not need to be fearless on day one. We use wall support, cork blocks, and active physical spotting to make sure you know exactly how to fall safely before you ever attempt a full, independent lift-off. ### Building Strength and Confidence Going upside down can be intimidating, but it is often more of a mental hurdle than a physical one. In these workshops held across Bangalore studios, including my sessions at Good Move Wellness, we focus on the mechanics of the body rather than just forcing a pose. ### The Workshop Approach My sessions are designed for real progress. We begin with 20 to 30 minutes of mobility drills to wake up the wrists, core, and shoulders. From there, we move into the technical breakdown of the pose. Whether we are tackling Sirsasana (headstand) or Pincha Mayurasana (forearm stand), I provide direct physical spotting so you never have to worry about crashing. We use props like cork blocks and wall space to ensure proper alignment before you ever try to balance in the center of the room. ### Who This Is For This is for anyone with a regular practice who wants to stop relying on momentum and start using controlled strength. Whether you are currently stuck on the wall or just looking to refine your technique, we keep the group size small (10 to 15 students) to ensure everyone gets feedback. We work on: - **Drills:** Dolphin pushups and scapula lifts to build shoulder stability. - **Technique:** Understanding where your center of gravity sits. - **Safety:** Learning how to roll out and exit a pose with control. Ultimately, it is okay if you wobble. Some days you nail the pose, and some days you just practice the entry. Both are valid. My goal is to make sure you leave feeling more capable than when you walked in. ## About Saumya Mishra I am Saumya. I left my corporate job because I wanted work to feel like joy, and that is exactly what I bring to the mat. I am there to spot you, help you refine your alignment, and make sure you have a laugh when things do not go perfectly.
