I focus on adapting movements to your body’s current state. Whether you are dealing with a past injury or just want to find your rhythm, we work with what you have—sometimes pushing, sometimes healing, but always listening. My practice is a conversation with the body. It changes daily—some days it is calm, other days it is a challenge. I teach Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga-inspired flows, but I lean heavily on Iyengar alignment techniques when we need to focus on specific injuries or structural support. ### How We Work Together I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because I know what it’s like to have a body that complains. I have navigated my own shoulder injuries and ligament tears, so I know the value of muscle memory and adapting to your limits. * **For the body that needs support:** We use props like the Iyengar rope wall, bolsters, and chairs. This is excellent for spinal decompression and getting into those deeper stretches safely. * **For the mind that needs a break:** My Pranayama and Vinyasa sessions focus on breathwork to calm the nervous system, helping you move from the 'noise' to the 'silence.' * **For the spirit of connection:** Our Cubbon Park sessions are open, outdoor, and real. We move under the trees, stretch, and often share a post-practice snack. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Do you need to be flexible to start?** Not at all. Flexibility is a state that comes and goes. We start with where you are today. **Where do you hold sessions?** I lead small group sessions at Latibule Wellness in Malleshwaram and open-air classes at Cubbon Park. I also teach online, so you can join from home. **What if I have an injury?** That is exactly why I use props and restorative techniques. We build the practice around your capacity, not against it. ## About Rakshith Setty Hi, I am Rakshith.
