Build Your Backbend

Sunday, July 14, 10am-12:30pm – $30

at Lemon Tree Wellness Collective Embodiment Studio (709 S 17th Street, Wilmington, NC)

Spine is the central part of our body and nervous system and its health directly affects the well-being of all our systems.

Backbending practice is a great way to strengthen the back while opening the front side of the body to support the spine - when done correctly.

In this 2 and a half hours workshop we will explore all body parts involved in a strong and healthy backbend and learn how to deepen your practice.

This workshop is for you if

  • you want to deepen your backbend and learn new variations of the asanas

  • you have lots of fear, experience anxiety or pain when practicing backbends and want to let go of these feelings and start enjoying instead.

You will learn

  • dynamic warm-ups to prepare the body for safe backbending practice

  • the mechanics of various backbends (with modifications and progressions)

  • how to actually enjoy backbends and practice without pain

  • breathing techniques to support your backbend

  • drills to build strength in your back, legs and shoulders

  • deep stretches to increase flexibility through the body

  • partner assists

  • useful tips for sustainable self-practice
