Come home to yourself in the most joyful and liberating way in this workshop focusing on supported back-bending poses.
Backbends supported by props are energizing without being over-stimulating or taxing on the nervous system, allowing for profound release and opening.
We’ll explore key principles of upper body alignment and the deeper significance of freeing the chest, neck and shoulders. We’ll translate the building blocks of healthy shoulder alignment into a luxurious and deep asana practice followed by a cozy, fireside chat for Q&A and inspiring conversation in uplifting company.
