## Teaching approach

Poonam's stated philosophy is that yoga should meet a student exactly where they
are, rather than where a photograph says they ought to be. Three principles guide
her classes:

1. **Breath first** — every movement begins and ends with the breath.
2. **Alignment over ambition** — depth is earned slowly and safely.
3. **Consistency over intensity** — small steps on the mat, big changes in life.

Her academic grounding in yoga philosophy, anatomy and therapeutic practice is
what allows her to teach a single posture three different ways until one fits the
student. Practices are adapted for injuries, stiffness, pregnancy and desk
fatigue.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do I need to be flexible to start yoga?**
No. Flexibility is a result of practising yoga, not a requirement for starting.
Every posture is offered in several variations.

**Are the classes suitable for complete beginners?**
Yes. Hatha yoga is the recommended starting point; postures are explained step by
step with no expectation of prior experience.

**What are Poonam Singh's yoga qualifications?**
An M.A. in Yoga (Uttarakhand Open University, Haridwar, 2021) and a Post Graduate
Diploma in Yoga (Sri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit University, 2019).
Both are full university programmes.

**Are classes online or in person?**
Both. Live online classes are open worldwide; offline small-group batches and
one-to-one sessions are also available.

**What should I wear and bring?**
Comfortable clothing you can move and breathe in, a yoga mat and water. Practise
barefoot where possible. For online classes, a mat-sized space and a device with
a camera so alignment can be corrected.

**Can yoga help with stress, poor sleep or a stiff back?**
Many students come for these reasons, and pranayama, yoga nidra and gentle Hatha
practice are traditionally used to support rest and mobility. Yoga is not a
replacement for medical treatment. Students should tell Poonam about any injury
or medical condition beforehand so practice can be adapted safely, and consult a
doctor for any medical concern.

**What language are classes taught in?**
English and Hindi.

**How do I book a class?**

joinpoonamyoga@gmail.com. Poonam replies personally, usually within 24 hours.
