Hearing from my students after 10 years of teaching still fills me with so much joy. This student shares how my prenatal yoga classes helped her through four pregnancies and natural deliveries, making her feel flexible, fit, and free from backaches.

About this collection
These stories aren't just about feeling better; they demonstrate how a precise, Iyengar-based practice fundamentally shifts the nervous system. By using props like chairs, bolsters, and wall ropes to support the body, my students—whether managing PCOS, navigating IVF, or recovering postpartum—are able to find deep, sustainable relief rather than just a temporary fix.
When you look through these testimonials, you will notice a recurring pattern: yoga serves as a therapeutic tool for the long term. It is not just about flexibility or reaching a pose; it is about addressing the internal environment.
The Science of Props
Whether a student uses a chair to support a spine during pregnancy or wall ropes to release a tight, painful back, these are not crutches. They are essential tools for correct alignment. In my classes, we use these props to ensure your practice is safe, regardless of your current physical stage or level of experience.
Moving from 'Fight' to 'Flight'
Many of my students come to me while dealing with complex medical journeys, including IVF support, PCOS management, and C-section recovery. The common thread in their success is learning to shift the body out of a 'fight or flight' state—which often worsens hormonal imbalances—and into a state of 'rest and digest.'
Your Personal Path
Every body is different. You will notice that my approach adapts to the student, not the other way around. If you are currently struggling with chronic pain, hormonal shifts, or anxiety, know that there is a way to practice that feels supportive rather than demanding. These stories are a testament to what is possible when you stop pushing and start listening to what your body actually needs.
Pragya Bhatt
I have walked the path from being told motherhood wasn't possible to conceiving naturally at 42. My teaching is built on that experience—I use props, alignment, and deep empathy to meet you where you are, whether you are dealing with PCOS, pregnancy, or postpartum recovery.
