Backbend from the Feet
When the heart feels light, it opens the door to fresh perspectives and new experiences. To facilitate this transformation, it is essential to cultivate a strong abdominal belt that supports and protects the lumbar spine while simultaneously working to unlock the often resistant dorsal spine, or thoracic region. This workshop offers a playful and dynamic approach to understanding spinal extension through a series of engaging drills, calibrations, and fluid movements.
Participants in this workshop will:
- Uncover the Gentle Power of Backbends: From the feet to the crown, discover how to harness the energy of backbends for both physical and emotional benefits.
- Open the Heart Safely: Learn techniques that allow for heart-opening poses while ensuring the spine remains protected.
- Gain Confidence in Movement: Explore new dimensions of movement, including advanced techniques like dropbacks and scorpions, in a supportive environment.
Rooting deep into the earth is essential for expressing a fully blossomed heart, and this workshop will guide participants through that journey.
