In this workshop, we’ll move slowly and mindfully through a series of heart-opening practices designed to help you feel more spacious, supported, and connected in your body. We'll explore how breath, strength, mobility, and softness all come together in a backbend practice.

We’ll begin with simple breathing exercises to settle the mind and awaken the body, followed by practices to build strength and awareness — exploring the muscular support and stability that enable a safer, more sustainable backbend practice.

As the body gradually opens, we’ll move through a progressive sequence of backbends, exploring ways to deepen familiar poses with more awareness and ease before building into advanced variations and playful transitions between poses, including movements such as Wild Thing into Wheel, as well some Pincha backbends.

The final 30 minutes will be dedicated to Yin Yoga stretches, allowing the body to soften, release tension, and fully absorb the practice.
