Before we attempt any pose, I guide you through a warm-up sequence and specific mobility checks to ensure your body is ready, which is exactly why my beginners start with foundational stability rather than rushing into complex movements. My approach to asana is never about forcing the body into a shape. It is about understanding the geometry of your own frame and finding freedom within it. Whether we are practicing a foundational Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend) to calm the nervous system or building the core stability required for Mayurasana (Peacock Pose), the intention remains the same: to move with awareness and respect for your current limitations. ### The Foundational Path Every session begins with centering. We establish a connection to the breath before moving into active asanas. For beginners, this means focusing on the basics of Surya Namaskar or simple backbends like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose). These are not just warm-ups; they are essential for preparing the spine and joints for deeper work. ### Moving Toward Advanced Poses When students feel ready to advance, we introduce variations that challenge balance and focus. This might include exploring Sirsasana (Headstand) with wall support or testing your center of gravity in a toe stand variation of Utkatasana (Chair Pose). Advanced poses are not the goal, but they are effective tools for developing discipline and proprioception. I ensure every transition is controlled and that you never compromise your breath for the sake of a pose. ### Personalised Progression In my private and small group sessions, I pay close attention to your individual alignment. If you are dealing with specific tightness or injury, we modify postures to keep you safe. My goal is to help you build a home practice that you can sustain, ensuring yoga becomes a language of liberation rather than just another item on your to-do list. ## About Yognaman I am the founder of Yognaman, where I teach yoga not as a workout, but as a deeper work-in to align your body and mind. I focus on helping you find stability and freedom in your movement, ensuring every pose you learn feels honest and safe.
