In my 1-on-1 sessions, we treat advanced asanas as therapeutic milestones, using props like the yoga wheel or blocks to safely build the core stability, shoulder mobility, and spinal strength required for inversions and deep backbends. ### Building Strength Safely My approach to advanced asana is rooted in the philosophy of 'Kaizen'—getting 1% better every day. We don't jump into complex handstands or backbends; we build a foundation first. Whether you are working on your first handstand or refining your forearm stand, the focus remains on breath awareness and core alignment. ### Why Props Are Essential Many students fear they aren't 'flexible' or 'strong' enough for advanced poses. I view props as essential tools for progress, not crutches. Using a yoga wheel to open the chest before Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose) or using blocks to find lift in an arm balance ensures you are working within your body's safe range of motion. This prevents injury and helps you understand the mechanics of the pose, rather than just forcing your body into a shape. ### A Personalized Approach Because I work 1-on-1, your session is tailored to your specific anatomy and goals. We look at your current range of motion, identify any imbalances in your shoulder or hip mobility, and build a practice that honors where you are today. This isn't a generic sequence; it is a collaborative process to help you find your center, break through mental barriers, and ultimately, find stillness in the strength you've cultivated. ## About Suhani Singh I’m Suhani.
