During our sessions, I focus on the 'why' behind the movement—whether we're practicing Marjaryasana or a simple twist—to ensure you’re not just moving, but aligning your vertebrae correctly to release chronic tension without strain. If you spend your day at a desk, your spine is likely begging for relief. My approach is simple: we start by waking up the spine with gentle mobility, then move into targeted strengthening. I guide you through poses like Ardha Bhujangasana (Baby Cobra) and Hastottanasana (Raised Arms Pose) to gently lengthen and create space between your vertebrae. ### Why Spine-Focused Yoga? Many people struggle with lower back pain and stiff shoulders because the spine is overworked and under-strengthened. In my sessions, we focus on spinal health to counteract this. You will hear me say, “nimma bennannu straight aagi itkolli” (keep your back straight) quite often. This isn't just a cue; it's the foundation of every pose we practice. ### What to Expect * **Alignment-First:** We don't rush into advanced poses. We build from foundational movements like Cat-Cow (Marjaryasana) to ensure your back is ready for more complex work. * **Safety & Modifications:** Every body is different. I provide clear contraindications and modifications. For instance, if you have a history of herniated discs, we focus on restorative stretches rather than deep backbends. * **Bilingual Guidance:** I blend English with Kannada to ensure cues resonate deeply and help you focus on the sensation in your muscles. ### A Note on Safety Yoga is therapeutic, but it must be practiced with awareness. Please inform me of any prior back surgeries, chronic conditions, or recent injuries before we begin. My goal is to build a practice that feels good for you today, not just a goal for the future. ## About Yoga for Cure I'm Neha, and I started 'Yoga for Cure' to help people move better, not just pose better. I focus on safe, steady progress because I know how much back stiffness can impact your daily quality of life.
