I focus on alignment and prop-supported techniques to help you safely build the strength and confidence required for these challenging asanas. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Bakasana, or Crane Pose, is often the first arm balance yogis learn.

In my classes, we use specific props like yoga wheels and blocks to safely open the shoulders and hips before attempting these poses, ensuring your joints are fully supported while you build the necessary stability. ### Building the Foundation Many believe advanced asanas are strictly for the flexible, but they are actually about intelligent engagement. I structure sessions to activate your core and warm up your wrists and shoulders, which is essential before practicing inversions like Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand). ### Safety Through Support If you are just starting, we do not jump straight into complex poses. We use the wall and blocks to practice dropping back into Chakrasana (Wheel Pose). This allows you to build the muscular control required to eventually hold these poses freely, reducing the risk of injury while increasing your range of motion. ### The Mind-Body Connection Arm balances require total focus. When you balance, you are forced into the present moment, which is a powerful way to quiet mental chatter and cultivate inner stillness. Whether you join my Bangalore-based group sessions or prefer 1-on-1 private coaching, my focus remains on mindful progression. We don't just aim for the final pose; we learn to listen to what your body needs on that specific day, finding balance beyond just the physical shape. ## About Nidhi Bansal I’m Nidhi, and for me, yoga is a silent conversation between my breath and my soul. I love taking my practice outdoors, whether it’s trekking in the Himalayas or finding space by the beach, and I bring that same sense of adventure and careful, prop-supported alignment into every class I teach.
