Flexibility workshop Back Bending

All levels are welcome!

Class Description: Have you given up backbending because you are afraid of injuring your back? Do you want to be able to grab your foot behind your head, but don’t know where to start? Do you already do quite a bit of backbending, but want to be able to do it safer? I breakdown the technique for backbending all the way through your spine from neck to bum. You will learn proper abdominal engagement for backbending, how to warm up properly, as well as how to cool down to keep your spine healthy and supported. We will work on cobra and bridge variations tailored to the level of students in the class.
