Guided Asana Practice

Classical Yoga Practices

Explore traditional yoga postures designed to build strength, improve flexibility, and cultivate balance in both body and mind. Each practice is guided with awareness, breath, and inner alignment.

Anjaneyasana Low Lunge Backbend Anjaneyasana Quad Stretch Variation Anjaneyasana
Hip Opening & Heart Expansion

Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge) Variations

Anjaneyasana, commonly known as the Low Lunge Pose, is a powerful posture that opens the hips while creating length and space through the spine. Practiced as a backbend, it encourages both strength and graceful flexibility in the body.

The deeper variation, where the back foot is held, adds an intense stretch to the thighs and hip flexors while expanding the chest and shoulders. Together, these variations build stability, balance, and a sense of openness throughout the entire body.

  • Deeply opens hips, thighs, and hip flexors
  • Strengthens legs and supports spinal extension
  • Cultivates confidence, energy, and inner expansion
Viparita Virabhadrasana Reverse Warrior Pose Virabhadrasana II Warrior II Pose Parsvakonasana
Strength • Stability • Expansion

Stand Strong, Move with Confidence

Virabhadrasana II and Viparita Virabhadrasana are powerful standing postures that cultivate strength, balance, and focused awareness. These poses teach the body how to remain steady while opening the hips, chest, and shoulders.

Warrior II builds grounding and inner confidence, while Reverse Warrior adds graceful spinal extension, encouraging openness without losing stability. Practiced together, they create both strength and fluidity in the body and mind.

  • Strengthens legs, hips, and core stability
  • Improves balance, posture, and body alignment
  • Builds confidence, focus, and grounded energy

Deep Backbend & Emotional Release

Soften the Heart, Strengthen the Spine

Eka Pada Rajakapotasana and Bhujangasana are profound heart-opening postures that work deeply on the spine, hips, and emotional center of the body. These asanas invite both strength and surrender.

Bhujangasana gently awakens the spine and prepares the body for deeper backbends, while Eka Pada Rajakapotasana allows stored tension from the hips and heart space to slowly release, creating a sense of openness and freedom.

  • Opens the chest, shoulders, and hip flexors
  • Strengthens the spine and improves posture
  • Helps release emotional stress and stored tension

Twist, Strength & Focus

Where Balance Meets Power and Precision

Parivrtta Parsvakonasana and Eka Pada Koundinyasana represent the meeting point of stability, twist, and controlled strength. These postures challenge the body while sharpening focus and internal awareness.

The deep twist of Parivrtta Parsvakonasana detoxifies and energizes the spine, while Eka Pada Koundinyasana builds strong arms, shoulders, and core— teaching the practitioner to move with confidence and mindful control.

  • Strengthens arms, shoulders, and core muscles
  • Improves balance, coordination, and spinal mobility
  • Enhances focus, discipline, and body awareness
