Featured Yoga Classes: Therapeutic Flows & Alignment
A look at my core teaching philosophy where breath, precision, and alignment come together to make yoga accessible and safe for everyone.
This is a simple sequence I've designed to help manage asthma. We focus on four asanas: Uttanasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Bhujangasana, and Setu Bandhasana, all aimed at opening the chest and improving lung capacity.
Let's flow through Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, together. I break down this fundamental sequence step by step, coordinating each movement with the breath, from Namaskar mudra to Hasta Utthanasana and back.
In this video, I guide you through Ustrasana, or Camel Pose, entirely in Kannada. It's a wonderful intermediate backbend for opening the chest and stretching the entire front of the body. Nimma bennannu straight aagi itkolli!
Natarajasana, or Lord of the Dance Pose, is a beautiful posture that improves balance and opens the body. I provide tips on how to approach this pose safely, starting with a bent knee to find stability before extending fully.
Chakrasana, the Wheel Pose, is an advanced backbend that requires both strength and flexibility. I demonstrate the correct alignment for lifting up, emphasizing shoulder opening and how to safely enter and exit the posture.
Chaturanga Dandasana can be challenging, so here is a preparatory exercise to build the necessary arm and core strength. Practicing this simple plank-based movement daily will help you progress towards the full pose.
This is a glimpse into my 10-day flexibility series, focusing on hamstring and hip mobility. I guide you through dynamic stretches like Utthan Pristhasana variations to safely increase your range of motion.
Kapalbhati is a powerful pranayama, or breathing exercise, that cleanses and energizes the body. I explain the technique of forceful exhalation while keeping the inhalation passive, and who should practice with caution.
About Featured
In my classes, you won't just hold poses; we focus on 'nimma bennannu straight aagi itkolli' (keep your back straight). Whether we are working on dynamic Vinyasa flows or therapeutic backbends, I ensure your alignment is correct to prevent injury and maximize the benefit of every movement, using props like blocks and straps whenever needed.
My approach to yoga is rooted in 'Yoga for Cure'—using specific, mindful movements to address real-world needs, from managing asthma to increasing overall mobility.
My Teaching Process
I don't believe in forcing your body into a posture. Instead, we break down complex asanas into manageable, step-by-step progressions.
- Alignment First: My rooftop studio in Koramangala 8th Block is equipped with tactile aids, blocks, and straps. My goal is to teach you the mechanics of a pose so you can practice it safely, whether you are in my studio or on a Zoom call.
- Bilingual Instruction: To make concepts easier to grasp, I frequently switch between English and Kannada. I believe language should never be a barrier to wellness.
- Consistent Practice: My memberships include 12 sessions per month, scheduled three times a week. This rhythm helps build strength, consistency, and a deeper understanding of your own body's limits.
What to Expect
Whether you are a beginner working on your flexibility or someone looking to practice advanced Vinyasa, the environment is non-competitive. We focus on breathing and form. If you are dealing with specific concerns like PCOD or back pain, I modify sequences to ensure you get the therapeutic benefits without strain. If you are curious about my pacing, feel free to book a single drop-in session to test the flow before committing to a full month.
Yoga for Cure
I'm Neha, and I believe yoga is for everyone, regardless of your fitness level. My approach is simple: we focus on safety, breathe correctly, and progress at a pace that respects your body's limits.
