In this 50hr training we will explore the mechanics of backbending through the lens of yogic “bandhas” or locks. Bandhas create energetic stability and continuity within the spine, and are important for any student looking to safely practice more advanced backbends, but also for students who feel stuck in more basic backbends like Cobra, Bow, and Camel.

During the intensive we will have a daily meditation and pranayama session, daily vinyasa classes, posture clinics focusing on the mechanics of how to support backbending postures, and a specialized backbending homework class that is life changing. Students will learn how to better support their backbends to find more stability and connection to their spine. And students will move into deeper layers of their flexibility through awareness, smart technique, and breath.
