YogaAsana BackBend Series

The Yoga Asana BackBend Series Workshop teaches us how to improve our backbend poses, and encourages us to ‘open’ our heart. Backbend poses can be physically challenging to some of us as they are the opposite action of our common daily activities such as texting, driving, and sitting in front of the computers. Due to this very reason, although challenging in the beginning, a majority of people find backbend poses ‘therapeutic’ partly because they reverse these habitual motions.  Backbending has an amazing uplifting effect on our physical, mental and emotional bodies – it often brings up strong emotions when practiced regularly.

What can you anticipate to learn in this workshop?

• Step-by-step of going into the poses and moving out of the poses.
• Understanding the stages of simple backbends – opening the upper, middle and lower back, and mobilising the shoulders.
• How to ‘build’ your backbends progressively
• How to protect vulnerable body parts by stabilising the lower body and using bandhas, props and proper alignment.
• Understanding adjustments and assistance.

Who should attend this workshop?

This workshop is for yoga practitioners of all levels who would like to experience backbending poses in a more interactive setting. Whatever your level of mobility or experience, this workshop will give you a strong foundation from which to explore backbends safely and confidently, as you build the knowledge to deepen and advance your backbends in a safe and supported environment.
