In yoga philosophy the backside of the human body is associated with our past. Many of us, dare I say all humans are holding onto some events, words, or actions from our past and allowing it to affect the way we are living in this moment. We may not even be able to recognize how the past is still influencing our lives, yet it's grip may still be there. This is where the powerful practice of backbends can radically change our lives. In addition to the emotional and phycological shift backbends can bring, they also carry tremendous therapeutic benefit for the spine and the muscles of the back. In this workshop we will practice many different backbends from gentle to deep, as well as disecting each poses' alignment and options for modifications. Take action with me to free yourself from the past and leave it behind as we face the future with strong and flexible backs! This workshop is open to all levels of practice and to every body! $20
