Posture Correction & Pain Management
Stop fixing just the symptoms. I use targeted yoga therapy and props to correct your posture, ease chronic back pain, and help you find alignment from the inside out.
With the right support, you can safely explore challenging poses like handstands and deep backbends. My role is to provide hands-on adjustments, ensuring your alignment is correct to prevent injury and help you build the strength and confidence to progress in your practice.
You don't need complex equipment to build strength. Here, I demonstrate a simple yet effective exercise using two chairs to develop arm, core, and back strength. This is a great example of how we can use everyday props in yoga therapy to make the practice accessible and functional.
Hanuman Dand is a traditional Indian exercise that is excellent for building a strong and resilient back. Practicing this dynamic movement, as I am here by a river in the mountains, can help prevent back pain for life. I teach this in a slow, controlled manner to ensure you build strength safely.
Shalabhasana, or Locust Pose, is a fantastic back-strengthening asana that also helps with sciatic nerve issues. In this video, I am assisting a student to get the correct lift and engagement, helping her build strength in the lower back and glutes while opening the chest.
Kurmasana, the Tortoise Pose, is a deep forward bend that provides an intense stretch for the entire spine and hips. It requires patience and proper guidance. Here, I am helping a student ease into the posture, ensuring her back is protected as she works on her flexibility.
About Posture Correction & Pain Management
Real change starts with understanding where your body is stuck. In our sessions, we don't just stretch; we use tools like ropes, chairs, and wheels to safely decompress your spine and fix the imbalances caused by long hours of sitting. Whether you’re dealing with sciatica or that nagging hunch, my focus is to help you build the strength to support your own body, not just rely on temporary fixes.
Fixing the Mechanics of Your Body
In yoga, we often talk about alignment, but very few people treat their bodies with the same logic they apply to a machine. If a car's wheels are misaligned, it vibrates and wears out; your spine behaves the same way. My approach at the Vikaspuri studio is not about how flexible you are; it is about mechanical understanding.
Why We Use Props
I use Iyengar rope walls and bolsters for a specific reason: they allow for spinal traction and decompression without loading weight onto injured discs. If you’re struggling with a slipped disc, sciatica, or just the stiffness that comes from staring at a laptop for ten hours a day, we start by mapping that posture. We identify the pelvic tilt or the shoulder slump and build a sequence specifically for your needs.
A Complete Approach
This is not a general gym class. Whether you’re coming in for a 1-on-1 therapeutic session or joining a small group, the goal is the same: to give you the tools to stop the pain. We include pranayama and sound therapy to ensure that while we fix the physical alignment, we are also soothing the nervous system that has been holding onto that tension. Yoga se he hoga—once you align the mind and body, the pain loses its hold.
