About Advanced Asana Practice: Strength & Balance

Advanced poses like Shirsasana or Chakrasana are effective, but only when built on a foundation of joint mobility and breath control. In my sessions, we do not rush into these shapes. We use props, wall support, and step-by-step alignment corrections to ensure you build the necessary stability before attempting the full expression of any posture.
