I provide the technical, hands-on guidance you need to safely unlock deeper backbends, inversions, and arm balances. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A student confidently holds Ashtavakrasana (Eight-Angle Pose), showcasing the arm strength and balance we build in class.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/26bbbae6-88f5-4f35-a648-64adcd171776) - [Video: Assisting a student with the intricate alignment of Dwi Pada Sirsasana (Two Feet to Head Pose), ensuring the hips and spine are correctly positioned.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ec2b0e09-ff97-4831-a4aa-f121f0e4246e) - [Video: Providing support in a deep spinal twist, helping to release tension and improve mobility in the thoracic spine.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/da973660-a33f-4aff-8978-7bc27fd4e8df) - [Video: Using the wall as a prop to guide a student deeper into Purnabhujangasana (Full Cobra Pose), focusing on opening the chest and shoulders.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ae606c07-2fc0-4ce3-977b-06dbd1ee1e5b) - [Video: Adjusting a student in Parivrtta Prasarita Padottanasana, a challenging revolved wide-legged forward bend that requires both flexibility and stability.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0f8dda22-3e74-46a1-96a8-4d30afb429bb) - [Video: Carefully guiding a student into the Ganda Bherundasana (Formidable Face Pose), an advanced backbend that demands significant strength and control.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/168c17c2-57b9-4fca-a359-c5104c0b7bc3) - ![An image showing the precise hand placement for adjusting Kapotasana (Pigeon Pose), helping to protect the lower back while deepening the bend.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/99587e83-a815-434e-9c8b-17304aa61429) - ![Another view of a hands-on Kapotasana adjustment, demonstrating how I support the student's back to encourage a safe and effective opening.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0c202e80-4ca8-4a67-9afa-e7143aa677fb) - [Video: Assisting a student with the final stage of Ganda Bherundasana, ensuring the chin and chest are properly supported.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/66261186-1165-4291-ade9-49b7d2e2a005) - [Video: A gallery of students working on Kapotasana, each receiving personalized adjustments to suit their level of flexibility and strength.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bd18d244-6a99-4f52-87a4-75457f8a767f) - [Video: Preparing a student for an extreme backbend by using the wall to establish alignment and build confidence before attempting the full pose.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2a06f2fb-d157-42dd-a49d-cee7e576ffec) ## About Mastering Your Practice: Advanced Asanas Advanced poses like Kapotasana or Ganda Bherundasana are not just for photographs. Without proper warm-ups and precise alignment checks, they are often recipes for injury. In my studio, we use specialized wall-ropes, wooden blocks, and belts to teach you the geometry of the pose before you ever attempt the full version. You learn the anatomy of the movement so your body knows exactly what to do. True advancement in yoga does not come from forcing your body into a shape. It comes from patience and understanding the 'why' behind every move. Whether you are working toward complex arm balances like Ashtavakrasana or trying to refine your backbends, my focus is on systematic preparation. ### Why Practice with Props? Many students fear advanced poses because they lack the confidence that they won't fall or hurt themselves. I use the Iyengar prop method to support you. We use the wall for traction in backbends and ropes to stabilize your spine during inversions. This allows your muscles to learn the alignment without the fear of collapsing. ### The Anatomy of a Pose We break down poses into manageable steps. For example, before doing a full chin stand, we work on shoulder stability and core engagement. I provide hands-on adjustments in every class to ensure your spine is protected and your limbs are positioned correctly. ### My Philosophy on Advancement I believe in the principle of 'step-by-step, no rushing.' You might see a flashy pose on social media, but real progress is hidden in the hours of consistent, boring, repetitive practice. When you train with me at my Ghatkopar East studio, we focus on that consistency. We combine physical training with Pranayama to ensure your mind is as steady as your body in these challenging postures. If you are ready to stop guessing and start practicing with intent, come join the shala. ## About Thorat Yogashala I started my journey from zero 12 years ago, and today, I teach yoga as a path to strength and self-mastery. Whether you want to nail a perfect handstand or deepen your backbends, my focus remains entirely on your alignment, safety, and understanding the science behind every move.
