## About Advanced Asanas: Strength & Balance

We treat advanced poses as a puzzle to solve, not a test of strength. I will show you how to use simple props like cushions or walls to find your center of gravity in inversions like Sirsasana or arm balances like Mayurasana. You do not need to be naturally flexible to start. We focus on building stability step-by-step, ensuring you feel safe and confident in every move.

Don't let the 'advanced' label scare you. Many of my students start their journey thinking headstands or arm balances are only for people who were born flexible. Through consistent, one-on-one sessions, we shift that mindset. 

Whether you want to nail a perfect Dragonfly pose or finally lift your legs into a Sirsasana, we use props like chairs, walls, and cushions to make these poses accessible. I don't believe in forcing your body into a shape. We work on strength-building drills first. If you are struggling with Mayurasana (Peacock Pose), for instance, we use a prop to help distribute weight so your wrists and shoulders learn the alignment safely. 

My focus is on technique over ego. We practice slow, controlled movements. You get real-time verbal cues to adjust your alignment, which is crucial when you are upside down. It is all about building the muscle memory and the confidence to hold these poses. If you have been practicing on your own and hit a plateau, or if you are curious about what your body can actually do, let's get on a call and start training.
