Yoga for Healing and Relaxation Classes
Whether you are dealing with chronic back pain, daily stress, or just need to unwind, these sessions focus on gentle alignment, deep breathing, and restorative poses to help you heal from within.
After yoga practice, Yoga Nidra is essential for body and mind rejuvenation. This guided meditation allows for deep rest and recovery.
Do you do relaxation stretches after exercising? Gentle back stretching and twisting after your practice is crucial for releasing tension and allowing the spine to relax.

About Yoga for Healing & Relaxation
I use props like yoga wheels, wall ropes, and blocks to help you modify poses so you can safely release tension in your spine and shoulders, even if you are just starting your healing journey. These tools allow us to work on deep alignment without putting unnecessary strain on your body.
Healing through yoga is not about forcing your body into perfect shapes; it is about finding relief and sustainability in your practice. Many of my students come to me struggling with sciatica, neck stiffness, or the aches that come from desk jobs. My approach focuses on 'Post-Abhyaas' (post-practice) care, ensuring you leave the studio feeling lighter, not drained.
Why focus on props and alignment?
When dealing with pain, safety is the first priority. We use wall ropes (Yoga Kurunta) for spinal traction, which creates space in your vertebrae and helps decompress the spine naturally. Yoga wheels and bricks are used to support your back during twists and stretches, allowing the muscles to release slowly. This prevents injury and ensures that even if you have limited flexibility, you can still reap the benefits of the asana.
Stress relief beyond the mat
Physical pain is often connected to mental stress. That is why every session includes dedicated time for Pranayama and Yoga Nidra. By calming the nervous system, we allow the body to shift from a state of 'fight or flight' to rest and recovery. You will learn to use your breath to manage anxiety, helping you reset your mind for the week ahead.
Who is this for?
This is for anyone looking for a low-impact, therapeutic way to move. Whether you are recovering from a minor injury, managing chronic stiffness, or simply need a safe space to unwind after a long day, these classes provide the modifications you need. I keep batch sizes small so I can provide hands-on adjustments and ensure you are moving in a way that respects your body’s current limits.
