My sessions focus on unlearning the slouch and reintroducing movement to your spine using simple props like blocks and belts. We won't jump into intense poses; instead, we’ll work on gentle sequences that relieve tension, target your specific pain points, and fit into your day, whether you have an hour or just ten minutes. ### Why Your Back Needs This Desk life is tough on the spine. My sessions are built for people who spend long hours sitting and carry all that stress in their lower or upper back. As someone who balances a law career with yoga, I know exactly what it feels like to sit for hours and why it’s hard to prioritize movement. ### My Approach We start with a quick assessment. There are no cookie-cutter flows here. We look at your posture, discuss your specific discomfort—whether it’s sciatica, cervical issues, or general stiffness—and build a sequence around that. ### How We Fix It * **Targeted Relief:** We use specific poses like Cat-Cow for spinal mobilization and Cobra variations to open the chest and release the lower back. * **Prop-Assisted Practice:** Sometimes, gravity is against us. We use yoga pads and blocks to make sure you get the stretch without the strain, especially for knee or wrist sensitivity. * **Sustainable Habits:** You walk away with a 5-10 minute 'desk yoga' sequence you can actually do during your work day. It’s not about changing your life overnight, but about finding small ways to move better. Everything is online, and the focus is always on your comfort. If a posture doesn't feel right, we tweak it until it does. ## About Nidhi Srivatsa I’m Nidhi. When I’m not practicing law, I’m on the mat, balancing yoga and cheese. I believe yoga should fit into your life, not the other way around, and my classes are all about finding comfort for your mind and body without the judgment.
