We use chairs, bolsters, and belts to create a supportive framework that adapts to your changing physique. Whether you are navigating pelvic girdle pain, back tension, or the specific fatigue of the third trimester, these props provide the stability required to practice safely and effectively without strain. Many practitioners assume yoga during pregnancy requires stopping inversions or avoiding challenging movements. My experience shows that with correct alignment and structural support, you can continue to practice safely right up to delivery. I specialize in the Iyengar method, which emphasizes precision and the use of equipment like rope walls and heavy chairs to make complex asanas accessible to everyone, regardless of their current physical limitations. For those managing back pain or pelvic issues, we use wall ropes for traction, which helps release spinal compression and creates space in the pelvis. If you are navigating postpartum recovery, our sessions focus on pelvic floor health and core strengthening, introducing movement gradually so you feel empowered rather than overwhelmed by exercise. My sessions are not one-size-fits-all. I work with women at different life stages—those trying to conceive, women managing PCOS, or those deep in their third trimester. We assess your unique needs, whether it is relieving sciatica, improving circulation to reduce swelling, or simply finding a quiet space to calm your nervous system. You will learn to work with your body's current requirements, turning physical limitations into opportunities for deeper understanding and relief. ## About Pragya Bhatt I'm Pragya. My journey through pregnancy shifted my own practice, teaching me that the most powerful yoga is the kind that supports you exactly where you are. I don’t teach poses. I teach you how to care for your body through all its changes.
