My Approach to Pilates & Corrective Exercise
I believe fitness is not wishful thinking, it is work. Here is how I blend science and movement to help you fix your posture and get stronger.
Age is just a number when it comes to building a strong, healthy body. Here, I'm guiding a client through exercises on the reformer to specifically target and improve a kyphotic or rounded posture, proving that it's never too late to work on your fitness.
A group of clients performing a synchronized lunge on the reformer. This exercise is excellent for building lower body strength, improving balance, and engaging the core, all key components of my group classes at the Hauz Khas studio.
Hands on guidance is key to ensuring proper form and preventing injury. In this clip, I am adjusting a client's alignment during a plank variation on the reformer to maximize core engagement and protect her lower back.
This graphic explains my approach to managing chronic low back pain, a common issue for many people working from home. I focus on correcting the root cause, which is often a biomechanical deficit due to core weakness, through targeted Pilates exercises.

This is what advanced control and strength looks like. My clients are performing a challenging hanging exercise on the Cadillac, which requires immense core power, stability, and coordination, showcasing the aspirational goals we can work towards.
This is a single arm back rowing exercise with a spinal twist. It's a fantastic unilateral movement that strengthens the rhomboids and lats while also helping to correct muscle imbalances in the back for better posture.
Here's a look at a full body workout in action. My clients are performing a dynamic movement on the reformer that combines strength, balance, and mobility, keeping the sessions engaging and effective.
About Featured
In these sessions, I do not just count reps. I use tactile cueing to ensure your pelvis is neutral and your core is actually engaged. Whether we are tackling scoliosis or that nagging desk-bound stiffness, every move is meant to re-educate your body mechanics so you are not just working out, you are actually fixing the root of the pain.
My Method: Movement Science Over Routine
I treat fitness as a science. When you walk into my Hauz Khas studio, do not expect a standard 'exercise of the day.' My programs are rooted in Contrology, where the focus is on breath, precision, and spinal mobility. Whether you are dealing with a kyphotic posture from years of WFH or just need to open up stiff hips, I build a plan that identifies your specific biomechanical deficits.
Why Corrective Exercise?
Most people ignore the 'why' behind their movement. I focus on the 'how'.
- Pain Management: We tackle the lumbopelvic complex. If your lower back hurts, it is often a core weakness issue, not a back issue. We fix it from the center out.
- Precision over Pace: You will feel the burn—I love pushing my clients—but I will stop you mid-move if your alignment is off. Precision prevents injury.
- Flexibility & Strength: We use the Reformer, Cadillac, and props to build long, lean strength without the bulk, while actively correcting muscle imbalances.
Training Anywhere
If you cannot make it to Hauz Khas, I bring the studio to you. My home training sessions are as rigorous as my in-studio classes. We use portable props and focused, one-on-one attention to ensure you do not miss a beat.
Remember, thoda push karna padta hai. If you are ready to stop settling for pain and start moving with control, let’s get to work.
