Using chairs and wheels helps us open up safely, find balance, and explore depth regardless of mobility. Whether you are recovering, stiff, or just want to try something new, come move with me. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Our Chair Yoga Teacher Training Course, available both online and offline, teaches you how to make yoga accessible for everyone.

When you sit in a supported backbend or use the wheel for spinal traction, you aren't just resting. You are training your nervous system to stay calm and present in deep ranges of motion that might otherwise feel inaccessible. ### Why Props Matter In my thirty years of teaching, I have learned that the most 'advanced' practice is one where you feel safe. Props like chairs and yoga wheels are not crutches for the weak. They are intelligent extensions of your body. ### Chair Yoga: Support and Precision We use industrial chairs in the shala to stabilize the body, allowing us to hold postures longer and breathe deeper. For beginners or those with mobility restrictions, the chair provides a stable base for poses like *Salabhasana* (Locust Pose) or *Bhujangasana* (Cobra Pose). It gives you the geometry of the pose without the fear of falling, allowing you to focus entirely on alignment and spinal elongation. ### Wheel Yoga: Opening the Spine The yoga wheel is my favorite tool for chest and shoulder opening. It matches the curvature of your spine, helping to release the stiffness that builds up from hours of sitting. We use it to gently ease into backbends and to build core stability, which is essential for safely progressing toward more complex asanas. ### A Practice for Everyone Whether you are practicing with me here at the Mysore shala or joining my online sessions from across the world, my goal is the same. We focus on: - **Safety:** Using supports to prevent strain. - **Depth:** Learning to move into your joints without force. - **Community:** Getting stronger as a group, supporting each other's progress. If you have been avoiding yoga because of back pain or stiffness, this is exactly where you should start. ## About Yoga with Srinatha I’m Srinatha. After thirty years on the mat, I have learned that the most advanced pose is the one where you feel safe and present. I invite you to my Mysore shala—or to join us online—to experience how simple props can unlock deeper freedom in your body.
