Yoga Tutorials & Posture Guides for Better Mobility
Whether you are looking to fix your posture after a long day at the desk or want to master a specific pose, these practical guides are here to help you move with ease. No fancy equipment needed—just you and your breath.
My little model, Riya, demonstrating Ear Pressure Pose (Karnapidasana). This is an advanced hip-opening pose that stretches the entire back, shoulders, and hamstrings.

A tutorial for tight shoulders and hips, perfect for those who sit for long hours. This simple scorpion twist stretch can be a game-changer for releasing tension and improving breath capacity.
A quick guide on proper feet placement for standing. Correcting your stance can reduce pain, improve breathing, enhance circulation, and give you a more confident appearance.
If you sit for too long, this Malasana (yogic squat) flow is for you. This exercise strengthens the lower body, increases hip flexibility, and aids digestion.

About this collection
If you find yourself stiff after a long day at your desk, I recommend starting with the Malasana (yogic squat) flow or the couch stretch. These aren't just for flexibility. They are designed to gently release deep-seated tension in your hips and lower back that builds up from sitting for hours. You do not need to be perfectly flexible to start—these movements are about feeling better in your own skin, not achieving a 'perfect' pose.
Moving with Intention
Yoga is rarely just about the final shape of an asana. When I teach these tutorials, the focus is on understanding your body’s unique limits and working within them to create space. Whether you are dealing with tight shoulders from driving in Bengaluru traffic or stiffness from a sedentary work life, the goal is always the same: comfort and longevity.

Why Practice With Me?
I believe in a 'come as you are' approach. You do not need to be a seasoned yogi to practice these movements. My sessions in Thanisandra or at your home in Bengaluru are tailored to where you are right now. Whether we are focusing on breathwork, sound healing, or refining your alignment, my priority is to hold space for you to rest, move, and reconnect.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, remember that consistency is always more important than intensity. Start with a few minutes a day, listen to what your body is asking for, and allow yourself the grace to rest when you need to. I am here to help you navigate your journey—whenever you are ready, just reach out.
