## About Adaptive Yoga: Chair & Wheel Courses

When you see someone using a chair or wheel in my shala, it is not because they cannot do the pose; it is because they are practicing with intelligence. I teach you how to use these props to safely explore your limits, whether you are recovering from an injury, working on stiff shoulders, or looking for deeper heart-openers.

Props are the great equalizer in my practice. In my Chair and Wheel Yoga courses, we do not just 'modify' poses; we learn the mechanics of how props can support specific anatomical goals. For example, using a chair in Trikonasana is not just about reaching the floor; it is about lengthening your spine and opening your chest without compromising your alignment. 

We explore:

* **Support & Stability:** How chairs help you hold balance poses longer, allowing the nervous system to relax into the stretch.
* **Deepening Asanas:** Using wheels to safely access backbends that might feel unreachable on the mat alone, or to create traction for the spine.
* **Therapeutic Value:** Many of my students come here to manage chronic back pain or shoulder tension. We use props to create space and alignment, making healing-focused yoga part of your daily routine.

Whether you are a beginner struggling to reach your toes or a teacher training to make your own classes more inclusive, these courses teach you how to see the potential in every prop. It is about listening to your body’s needs today, so you can practice for a lifetime.

## About Yoga with Srinatha

I am Srinatha. I have spent thirty years on the mat, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that the best yoga is the one that fits your body, not a rigid idea of a pose. In my shala, the chair is just as important as the mat, and the wheel is a bridge to possibilities you might not have explored yet.
