Therapeutic Yoga & Prop-Assisted Practice

For hormonal imbalances like PCOD and diabetes, I use a combination of chair and belt yoga to make asanas accessible and effective. This sequence focuses on improving circulation and stimulating the endocrine system, helping the body find its natural balance without strain.

You don't always need special equipment for relief. Here, I demonstrate a simple yet powerful technique for frozen shoulder using a weighted bag, something you can find at home. This exercise helps to gently open the shoulder joint and chest, improving mobility and reducing pain.

The spine is the highway for Prana, our life force energy. I use specialized wooden props, inspired by the Iyengar tradition, for deep spinal rejuvenation. This supported backbend allows for a longer, restorative hold, releasing deep-seated tension and preparing the body for more advanced asanas safely.

This is a conversation with my student, Richa, about her postpartum recovery journey after a C-section. We discuss the importance of starting a mindful practice to heal, regain strength, and manage the physical and mental transitions of motherhood. Her experience shows that with proper guidance, the body can recover beautifully.

If you struggle with sleep, Bhramari Pranayama, or the bee breath, is a powerful tool. This simple breathing technique calms the mind and stimulates the production of melatonin, which helps induce restful sleep. I guide you through the correct way to practice it for maximum benefit.

Advanced poses like Halasana (Plow Pose) can seem intimidating, but with the right props, they become safe and accessible for everyone. Here, we use a Halasana box and shoulder supports to protect the cervical spine, reduce lower back strain, and allow the body to relax into the pose.

My Hatha Yoga Teacher Training program includes a strong emphasis on practical application and hands-on adjustments. Here, you can see my interns learning how to safely assist students in Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), ensuring proper alignment and a deeper, more effective backbend.
