Yoga Asana Library: Simple Poses and Flows for Everyone
Yoga is not about touching your toes, it is about touching your soul. Explore this library of poses and flows designed to help you build strength, find balance, and feel at home in your body—no matter your starting level.
The ultimate reset pose: Balasana, or Child's Pose. This simple posture promotes digestion, alleviates back pain, calms the breath, and helps you feel grounded and relaxed.
Gentle stretching is important at any age. This video demonstrates simple stretches that help lengthen tight muscles, increase blood flow, and lower cortisol levels for overall well-being.
Ready to open up and flow? This video guides you through a hip-opening flow designed for beginners, helping to increase flexibility and release stored tension in the hips.

Surrender to the flow and let the journey unfold. This home practice sequence moves from Cobra to Downward Dog with a leg lift, embodying the ease of going with the flow.
Sarvangasana, or Shoulderstand, is known as a posture that benefits the entire body. It enhances blood circulation, aids digestion, and boosts the immune system.
This is Pindasana, or Embryo Pose. It's an advanced inversion that strengthens the arms and neck, increases hip flexibility, and helps stabilize the mind and body.
About this collection
I often get asked if yoga is only for the flexible. My answer is always the same: if you can breathe, you can practice. Whether we are exploring the grounding nature of Balasana (Child's Pose) or the energetic stretch of a hip-opening flow, the focus is never on how deep you go, but on how you observe your breath and your physical limits without judgment.
My asana library is not just a list of shapes; it is a resource to help you understand your body. When I teach, whether it is in a group session in Bengaluru or a 1-on-1 class, I emphasize alignment over aesthetics. You will see me correct postures not to make them 'perfect', but to ensure they are safe for your joints and effective for your specific goals—whether that is relieving back pain, managing PCOS, or improving posture.
Why Practice These Flows?
- For Stress Relief: Poses like Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand) are excellent for calming the nervous system and resetting your body after a long day.
- For Flexibility: You do not need to be a gymnast to practice hip-openers. My flows are designed to gently lengthen tight muscles and increase blood flow, which in turn lowers cortisol levels.
- For Holistic Health: Many of these movements, such as Paschimottanasana, aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels when practiced consistently.
How to Start Your Home Practice
You do not need fancy equipment. Most of my tutorials can be done using a basic mat and items found around your home. If you are struggling with a pose, look for my variations. I believe in modifying the practice to fit your body, not the other way around. If you are in Bengaluru and want to practice in person, I offer studio group classes where I provide hands-on adjustments to help you find your personal edge. Remember, the goal is 'Santosh' (contentment). Observe the changes in your mind and body, love your complexities, and keep showing up for yourself.
