Whether you are working on your first deep backbend or refining your alignment, we focus on safe, steady progression. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Flipping your grip in backbends like Bow Pose requires significant shoulder mobility.

They are about creating space in your shoulders and spine. We start with small, repetitive movements to build mobility before we ever attempt the full expression of the posture. You only move as deep as your breath allows. ### Building Foundation Before Poses Many people rush into advanced asanas thinking they need to hold them for a long time. In my classes, we work differently. We break down complex movements into smaller, manageable drills. For example, if you want to improve your backbends, we don't just start with Dhanurasana (Bow Pose). We first work on: * **Shoulder Mobility:** Opening the chest and front body to prevent strain. * **Spinal Engagement:** Strengthening the back muscles using Bhujangasana (Cobra) and Salabhasana (Locust) so the spine is supported before it is bent. * **Breath Awareness:** Using Pranayama to calm the nervous system, which allows muscles to relax and release tightness. ### My Approach to Advanced Asanas When we practice advanced drills, I emphasize the 'Go Slow' philosophy. You will see me using blocks, straps, or walls to ensure you are not compromising your joints. It does not matter if you cannot do the pose perfectly today—samajh jaoge (you will understand everything) as you keep practicing with consistency. ### Common Focus Areas We regularly cover movements like: 1. **Flipping the grip:** Requires specific shoulder rotation and patience. 2. **Deep backbends:** Focusing on lengthening the spine rather than crunching it. 3. **Arm balances:** Building wrist strength and core engagement before lifting off the ground. If you have an old injury or specific tightness, please let me know before we begin. We can always modify these drills to make them safe for your unique body. ## About Saumya Mishra I'm Saumya.
