These are not shortcuts, but intelligent tools that help you find stability, understand your alignment, and access deeper levels of strength. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video shows highlights from my Iyengar Chair Workshop.

Using a chair for backbends or a belt for leg extensions allows you to hold poses longer and correct skeletal alignment without strain, which is crucial if you are managing chronic back pain or recovering from an injury. ### Why Props Are Essential I believe that yoga should make you feel supported, not just stretched. When we use props, we are not avoiding the work. We are using intelligent design to adapt the pose to your anatomy. Whether it is a belt to help you reach your feet without rounding your spine, or a chair to support a backbend, these tools help you find the correct alignment that your body needs to heal. ### The Iyengar Approach in My Classes My teaching is rooted in the Iyengar tradition, which focuses on precise alignment and mindful movement. This is particularly effective for those dealing with specific concerns: * **Back and Knee Pain:** We use wall ropes and bolsters to create traction and stability, allowing the spine to decompress safely. * **Posture Correction:** Laptop life takes a toll. We use blocks and chairs to build strength and awareness, helping you realign your shoulders and spine. * **Hormonal Health:** For those managing PCOS or reproductive health, specific supported poses help regulate the nervous system and manage energy levels. ### How to Start If you are new to the Iyengar method, you do not need to be flexible to begin. You only need to be curious. My small group sessions use live video feedback to ensure that you are using your props correctly. For those who need more focused attention, my 1-on-1 sessions allow us to design a sequence strictly for your body type and medical history. We will look at your alignment, assess any pain points, and move at a pace that is right for you. ## About Pragya Bhatt I am Pragya.
