Teaching Style & Approach

Rahul is appreciated for his joyful presence and easygoing manner, helping students feel both supported and safely challenged. Before offering any correction, he teaches students to observe a body’s skeletal structure, moving beyond general alignment cues toward guidance tailored to each individual. His classes include micro-adjustments for standing poses and forward folds, protection for the joints during entries and exits, and a clear ethical approach grounded in consent-based adjustment. Whether leading the 4-Day Intermediate Program or the 7-Day Master Program, Rahul brings patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge to help students refine their personal practice mechanics and build greater confidence in hands-on adjustment across different body types and structural histories, including hypermobility, old injuries, and scoliosis.
