In these sessions, I focus heavily on grounding your feet and keeping your spine straight—'nimma bennannu straight aagi itkolli'. My goal is to help you build real strength while ensuring your joints stay safe and supported, not strained. Standing asanas are more than just holding a position; they are essential for developing lower-body stability, improving posture, and increasing overall focus. In this cluster, I guide you through foundational postures—including the Virabhadrasana (Warrior) series and Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)—with a focus on correct biomechanics. ### Why Alignment Matters Most people struggle with standing poses because they collapse into the joints rather than engaging the muscles. Whether we are practicing Utthita Parsvakonasana or Parivrtta Trikonasana, I emphasize proper tracking of the knee over the ankle and active engagement of the core. If you have tight hamstrings or stiffness in your hips from sitting at a desk, we modify these poses using blocks or wall support so you can benefit without pain. ### What We Cover - **Foundational Stability:** Building strength in the quadriceps and calves through Warrior poses. - **Balance and Focus:** Mastering Eka Pada Angushthasana and Garudasana to quiet the mind. - **Spinal Mobility:** Incorporating twists like Parivrtta Parsvakonasana to improve spinal flexibility and digestion. ### Safety First Because standing poses can impact blood pressure and joint health, I always provide clear contraindications. If you have high blood pressure, knee injuries, or vertigo, we will adjust the flow. My sessions are designed to be therapeutic, keeping your specific needs in mind while pushing for gradual, steady progress. We take it one breath at a time, moving into each pose with intent. ## About Yoga for Cure I am Neha, and I believe yoga is for everyone, regardless of your starting point.
