Yoga for Healing, Pain Relief, and Recovery
Yoga is not just about flexibility. It is about listening to your body to release the tension that causes sciatica, digestive issues, and daily stiffness. Let’s find your balance.
If you struggle with digestive issues like bloating or acidity, these asanas can help. This video guides you through poses like Naukasana and Vajrasana to stimulate your digestive system and improve gut health.

POV: You stretch every day and your sciatica pain is gone. Deep, consistent stretching, like the movements in this video, can provide immense relief from lower back and sciatic nerve pain.
Did you know chronic back pain can be linked to weak ankles? This video provides drills and asanas, like Malasana with elevated heels, to improve ankle mobility and strength, which supports a healthier back.
Practicing Malasana (Garland Pose) every day can transform your hip mobility and strengthen your pelvic floor. I show you how to practice with modifications using a wall, cushion, or chair to suit your body.
Viparita Karani, or legs-up-the-wall pose, is a simple yet powerful restorative practice. Doing this for just 10 minutes a day can reduce swelling in the legs and is great for varicose veins.
Stretching should be an everyday routine. Even a simple hamstring stretch on your bed can make your body feel more flexible, light, and calm.

About Yoga for Healing & Recovery
Most people come to me after trying endless physiotherapy or painkillers for chronic back pain and bloating. The difference here is that we do not just stretch; we use breathwork and targeted asanas—like Viparita Karani for circulation or specific pelvic floor work—to release the actual tension stored in your hips and spine. We work with your current physical limitations, not against them, to help you feel lighter and more pain-free in your daily life.
Healing Beyond the Mat
My approach to recovery is entirely holistic. We aren't here to force your body into shapes that hurt. Whether you are dealing with sciatica pain, post-workout soreness, or the heavy feeling of a long day at the office, we start by calming the nervous system.
What We Focus On
- Somatic Release: In my Chattarpur studio, we use manual adjustments and props to help your body let go of deep-seated physical stress.
- Targeted Recovery: From Malasana variations for hip mobility to gentle twists for digestive health, every movement is chosen to address your specific discomfort.
- Breath as Medicine: We pair movement with pranayama, because a tense mind often manifests as a tense, painful body.
Who is this for?
This isn't for the person looking to do complex inversions for an Instagram photo. This is for the person who needs to unclench their jaw, fix their digestion, or finally get relief from lower back stiffness. If you are dealing with issues like acidity, constipation, or tight hamstrings from travel, we will build a 15-minute daily routine that you can actually stick to.
My goal is to give you the tools to heal yourself. We will look at your posture, your breathing habits, and the small, daily movements that might be causing your pain. Let's get you back to feeling like yourself again, step by gentle step.
