Backbends for Beginners with Andrea Peloso

Backbends are a powerful way to maintain a healthy and strong spine through stimulating circulation in the spinal column.  Regular back bending also helps in achieving emotional balance.   

In this back bending workshop we will introduce proper alignment and safe techniques to slowly enable deeper backbends.  Related topics of upper leg and shoulder tension will also be connected with this general theme.   

We will approach this workshop in a way that accommodates various ranges of motion in the spine and help overcome fears associated with backbends.    

Beginner level students and new back benders welcome!
