Most people arrive at yoga through a class — a teacher at the front, a sequence on the mat, twenty bodies moving in the same direction. It is wonderful for fitness, community, and general wellbeing. But when pain, anxiety, insomnia, or a specific condition enters the picture, a shared sequence is rarely enough.

In a typical yoga class, the teacher designs a sequence for the group. Adjustments are brief. The pace belongs to the room, not to you. If your lower back is tight, you modify. If your breath is shallow, you do your best. The practice is broad — and that breadth is its strength.

Yoga therapy begins with assessment — your breath, your spine, your nervous system, your history. Tamanna designs each session around one body: yours. A sore shoulder might need shoulder work, but it might also need rib-cage breath work, or a hip release, or nervous-system downshifting first. The sequence follows the person, not the other way around.

Choose a class when you want general movement, flexibility, and community. Choose yoga therapy when something specific is asking for attention — chronic pain, anxiety, sleep, hormonal imbalance, post-surgery recovery, or simply the sense that your body needs to be listened to, not led.

One is a class. The other is your personalised journey. Both have their place. The question is not which is better — it is which one your body is asking for right now.
