Instead of pushing for perfect, Instagram-ready lines, we focus on engaging the right muscles—like the abdominals in Navasana or the glutes in Utkatasana—to actually support your spine. It’s about building foundational stability so you can sit through a long workday without feeling like you need a massage by five o'clock. ### Moving Beyond the Desk Slump Yoga isn't about looking like a pretzel. It's about *svadhyaya*, or self-study. Understanding *why* your back hurts is half the battle. When you spend hours at a computer, your chest muscles shorten and your upper back weakens, leading to the rounded shoulders we call 'tech-neck.' ### Practical Strengthening My approach to posture is rooted in biomechanics, not just movement. We use specific asanas to counter your desk habits: * **Navasana (Boat Pose):** A non-negotiable for building the core strength needed to hold yourself upright. I teach variations so you can build this strength even if you are just starting out. * **Utkatasana (Chair Pose):** This isn't just about legs; it’s about lengthening the spine while creating the heat necessary to build stamina. * **Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Fold):** We work on folding from the hips, not the spine, using modifications like rolled mats under the knees to keep your back safe if your hamstrings are tight. ### Why Consistency Beats Intensity I provide variations for everyone because your body is unique. If you can’t touch your toes or balance for long, we adjust the pose. We don't aim for 'perfect' lines. We aim for you to leave a session feeling a little more open and a lot more capable of supporting your own body throughout the day. Whether we are doing a virtual session over Zoom or I'm at your office in Bengaluru, the goal is the same: to get you out of the habit of collapsing into your desk. ## About Sanjana I’m Sanjana. My own practice taught me that perfection is overrated—I’d rather focus on feeling good in my skin than achieving the 'perfect' posture. I’ll help you find those same little wins, whether you’re sitting at your desk or finding a moment to breathe on the mat.
