Mallika Sherwat: ‘I want to share with you another rope work asana which corrects the posture, opens the shoulders, chest & arms & brings the body in alignment.
‘Rope work asanas are an essential practice of Iyengar yoga. Props like ropes, bolsters, bricks etc assist the body in correcting the alignment which is so imp to avoid injuries’.

Rakul Singh: ‘TRUE YOGA is not about the shape of your body, but the SHAPE of your LIFE.
‘It’s not about touching your toes, but what you learn on the way down.
‘You can’t always control what goes on outside, but you can control what goes on inside.
‘Sink into the stillness and celebrate this union of mind, body and soul to self reflect and vibrate at the highest frequency of life at all times’.
