Back Bending Workshop
Saturday, 21 November 2015 at 10 am - Hamsa Yoga Space, Beirut
Back bending can be one of the most challenging variety of postures in our asana practice. They go against the natural way we hold and move our bodies. We slouch forward and move forward; backbends take us the opposite direction. They force us to be a bit vulnerable—essentially removing the shield that protects our hearts and emotions. Yet, benefits of backbends are endless.
On a physical level, they stimulate the central nervous system, boost the immune system, realign and increase mobility in the spinal column, open the hips, strengthen and stretch the legs.
On an energetic level, backbends allow for deep heart opening giving us an opportunity to learn how to become more patient with ourselves and to persevere with our tasks.
In this workshop, we will learn alignment techniques to incorporate into our back bending practice; using a creative flow sequence, we will warm up the body to help create front body stretches and cultivate awareness around the back of the heart. We will then move toward deeper back bending postures to invigorate the back followed by seated and supine twists.
