Beautiful Backbends
September 23, 2017 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Backbending asanas are the gateway into the heart chakra (anahata). When this center is open there is a natural sense of union with everyone and everything, dispelling separation, fear and duality. Bending the spine backward is one of the six directions the spine can move. Backbending postures and forward bends compliment each other, balancing the front (lunar) of the body with the back (solar) of the body. This workshop offers a sequence of preparatory poses to create a safe, appropriate environment for the expression of beautiful backbends. A heart centered Hatha Yoga practice.
