[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/yoga.sanj/corporate-desk-yoga/gallery) I believe yoga should fit your body, not the other way around. Using simple props helps you find the right alignment safely, whether you are a complete beginner or dealing with stiffness from a long day at your desk. ## Photos and videos - ![This image collage shows multiple variations of Malasana (Yogi Squat), using props like a block and a wall for support.

My approach focuses on 'bringing the floor to you' using blocks or a rolled mat to maintain a flat, healthy spine. This simple adjustment protects your lower back and lets you actually feel the stretch where it counts, instead of just pushing through discomfort. ### Why Props Are Essential Many people think using a yoga block is a sign of weakness, but it is actually the smartest way to advance your practice. Props allow us to access deeper muscle engagement without compromising our form. Whether you are using a block for a supported backbend to open your chest or putting a pillow under your knees to release tight hamstrings, you are making the pose work for your unique anatomy. ### Addressing the 'Desk Slump' If you spend hours sitting, your body holds tension in specific ways—tight hips, rounded shoulders, and an achy lower back. My sequences use modifications to counteract this. We don't force ourselves into pretzel shapes. Instead, we use gentle, supported movements to: * **Release Hip Tension:** Using blocks in lunges to keep the chest upright while opening hip flexors. * **Protect the Spine:** Bending the knees in forward folds to ensure the rotation happens at the hip joint, not the lumbar spine. * **Open the Shoulders:** Using supported backbends to reverse the forward-leaning posture we develop while typing. ### Customizing Your Practice Yoga is a practice, not a goal to complete. On days when your body feels tight, modifications are your best friend. They allow you to stay consistent without the risk of injury. My goal is to teach you how to listen to your body, understand when to push, and when to back off. If you are struggling with a specific pose or dealing with back pain, send me a message. We can find a modification that works for your specific limitations. ## About Sanjana Hi, I am Sanjana. I help people find balance on the mat by keeping it simple and honest.
