FEEL MORE BALANCED IN YOUR BODY

A Thoughtful Approach to Better Posture

Posture is not about holding yourself rigidly or trying to look perfectly straight. It is about creating enough strength, mobility and awareness for the body to feel balanced and supported.

In my small home studio in Solihull, classes are limited to four students. This allows me to observe how you stand and move, offer individual guidance and help you understand the small changes that can make a meaningful difference.

HOW IYENGAR YOGA MAY HELP

Strength, Alignment and Body Awareness

Iyengar Yoga uses precise instruction and supportive props such as blocks, belts, chairs, bolsters and wall ropes. These help you explore alignment carefully and understand where your body needs more support, mobility or strength.

We work with the whole body, including the feet, legs, pelvis, spine, shoulders and head. This helps you become more aware of habits such as slouching, rounded shoulders, uneven weight distribution or a forward-head position.

Rather than forcing the body into a fixed shape, the aim is to develop a more balanced and natural way of standing, sitting and moving.

PRACTICAL BENEFITS

What We Focus on in Class

01

Alignment

Understand how to position your feet, legs, pelvis, spine and shoulders more effectively.

02

Core Strength

Build support through the abdomen, back and pelvis to help you feel steadier and more upright.

03

Upper-Back Strength

Strengthen the muscles around the shoulder blades to support the chest and shoulders.

04

Chest Opening

Create more space across the chest and reduce the rounded posture linked with desk work.

05

Mobility

Improve movement through the shoulders, hips and spine so upright posture feels less forced.

06

Body Awareness

Recognise everyday habits and learn how to adjust your position with greater ease.
