It is less about pushing for a perfect pose and more about allowing your body to release the tension it has held onto for years, whether that is from a back injury, postnatal recovery, or hormonal stress. Yoga as a therapeutic practice is deeply personal. Over the years, I have seen students arrive with a range of challenges, from chronic back pain and knee stiffness to the emotional and physical demands of the postpartum phase or PCOS management. My approach, rooted in the Iyengar method, relies on precise alignment and the intelligent use of props to ensure that every student, regardless of their current mobility or injury history, can practice safely. What you see in these stories is the result of consistency. It is rarely about a quick fix. When a student comes to me recovering from a slip disc or managing hormonal imbalances, we begin by recalibrating their understanding of their own body. We use chairs to modify standing poses or bolsters to support the spine, allowing the nervous system to shift from a state of fight-or-flight into restoration. My online sessions, while virtual, are designed to replicate the precision of an in-person workshop. We maintain small batch sizes to allow for individual corrections, ensuring that every movement is intentional. Whether you are seeking relief from desk-job-induced posture issues or navigating the complex journey of pregnancy, these stories demonstrate that the mat is a safe space for healing. It is not about reaching the final, advanced posture; it is about the quiet, daily work of becoming more attuned to your needs and limitations. If you have been hesitant to start or return to yoga because of past injuries, know that there is a way to practice that honors where you are today. ## About Pragya Bhatt I am a yoga teacher who believes that your practice should adapt to you, not the other way around. My teaching is deeply influenced by the Iyengar tradition, which means we use props to help you find alignment and support. I am here to help you move with awareness, heal, and ultimately, feel more at home in your own body.
