Using props like wall ropes, chairs, and blocks allows you to safely find true alignment and deepen your practice. ## Photos and videos - [Video: For many people who sit at a desk, upper back mobility is a major issue.

That is a mistake. In my sessions, we use wall ropes, chairs, and bolsters to create necessary traction and stability. These tools force your body into the correct alignment, allowing you to hold deep poses like inversions or backbends safely. If you want results, you have to do the work, and these props simply make sure that work is precise and effective, not damaging to your joints. True yoga is 'Chitta Vritti Nirodha'—quieting the mind. But you cannot focus on your mind if your body is struggling with pain or improper posture. That is why I use the Iyengar tradition of props. My studio is equipped with a wall-rope system, which is crucial for spinal traction. If you suffer from back pain or cervical issues, these ropes take the pressure off your vertebrae, allowing you to hang and stretch the spine safely. We also utilize iron chairs and yoga wheels for backbends. These aren't just accessories; they are tools that teach your muscles how to engage correctly. When we practice poses like Hanumanasana (the splits) or Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose), the goal is to open the body without strain. Beginners often injure themselves by rushing into flexibility. My method uses blocks and belts to create a bridge, ensuring you build the required strength and flexibility over time. Whether you are dealing with chronic stiffness or looking to refine your advanced practice, the props help us achieve a level of depth that free-standing poses often cannot reach. This is not a relaxing hobby; it is a disciplined practice. My approach to alignment is hands-on and intense because 'parivartan' (change) requires burning through the old habits of the body. If you are ready to be consistent and move beyond your current limitations, join me for a session in New Ashok Nagar or Mayur Vihar. ## About Sunil Yogi I am Yogi Sunil, and I founded Soul to Shiva to bring disciplined, alignment-focused yoga to Delhi.
