Therapeutic Yoga & Personalized Healing Journeys

Meet Preeti, a fellow yoga teacher who came to me while recovering from a back injury that left her unable to practice or teach. Together, we worked on recalibrating her body with mindful, alignment-focused movements. It's my greatest joy to see her not just healed, but back to teaching with renewed confidence.

As a new mother, I know the upper back and neck pain from breastfeeding is very real. I created this simple sequence of three yoga moves, including a gentle Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and spinal twists, that you can do right on your bed. These poses brought me so much relief, and I hope they help you too.

Many people think yoga props make poses easier, but in the Iyengar tradition, we see them as tools for refinement and deeper understanding. This video explains how I use the yoga chair to provide structure, give feedback, and make complex postures safe and accessible, especially for therapeutic work.

During my third trimester, the supported Upaviṣṭa Koṇāsana (Wide-Angled Seated Forward Bend) was a daily practice for me. It taught me to listen to my body, adapt to its changes, and receive support. This pose helps open the pelvis, eases back pain, and calms the mind, preparing the body for labor.

Rest is a practice in itself. In my Malhar workshop, we combine restorative yoga with the soothing sound of live sitar music to create a space for deep release. This is about letting go, softening, and nourishing yourself from the inside out.

This is a photo of me before I began my deep dive into yoga. I didn't know it then, but this path would lead me to lose weight, become a published author, and build a career from my passion. My personal transformation is a reminder that yoga is a journey of becoming, and it's a journey I am honored to guide others on.
