Expert Yoga Asana and Alignment Practice
Master your form and build a sustainable yoga practice. We focus on proper alignment, breathwork, and using props to help you progress safely.
This sequence shows how we use props like yoga blocks to support and deepen various asanas. You can see the flow from Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) to Bakasana (Crow Pose) and a standing leg extension.
A demonstration of a basic yoga asana flow. This sequence includes poses like Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) and Parvatasana (Mountain Pose) to build strength and stability.
A student demonstrates the steps to enter Bakasana, or Crow Pose. This arm balance requires focus, core engagement, and wrist strength, all of which we build up slowly.
This is Ek Pada Padangusthasana, or the Standing Big Toe Pose. It is an excellent posture for improving balance, stretching the hamstrings, and developing concentration.
Here, a student and I practice Trikonasana, the Triangle Pose, using a pole for support. This prop helps in achieving the correct alignment and opening the chest and shoulders.
Partner yoga helps in achieving deeper stretches and building trust. This image shows an advanced seated spinal twist and leg extension pose, demonstrating incredible flexibility.
This video shows variations of Ugrasana, the Ferocious Pose. It includes forward bends and side stretches in a wide-legged seated position to deeply open the hips and hamstrings.
About Asana and Alignment Practice
Yoga isn't about forcing your body into a shape; it's about finding stability. In my classes, we use props like yoga blocks, straps, and sometimes even support poles to help you understand the geometry of each asana. By removing the fear of falling or straining, you can actually focus on your breath—breathe karte raho—and feel the engagement in the right muscles, not just the pressure on your joints.
Alignment is the foundation of a long-term practice. If you push into a pose without understanding how your joints should stack or how to engage your core, you are just waiting for an injury. My approach, rooted in my training at Kevalyadham, is to teach you how to build the pose from the ground up.
Whether we are working on Bakasana (Crow Pose) or a simple Trikonasana, I break down the anatomy for you. We don't rush. We follow the principle of 'dheere-dheere'—slowly, slowly. This gives your body time to adapt and your mind time to find the stillness that yoga promises.
In our studio sessions in Paschim Vihar, you will see us using props extensively. Poles are not just for support; they act as a feedback tool to help you lengthen your spine and open your chest correctly. If you are joining us online, we use the same step-by-step logic, focusing on clear verbal cues so you can replicate the alignment in your own home space. My team and I are there to observe, correct, and ensure you are safe. This is not about showing off flexible poses for social media; it is about building the strength and stability you need for daily life.
