Backbends & Preparatory Inversions – Weekly Intermediate Class 369

This class integrates backbends with strength-building preparatory inversions. The session begins with foundational strength-building poses, including variations of Urdhva Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) and Sirsasana (Headstand), designed to enhance strength, confidence, and technique. The class then transitions into a comprehensive selection of backbends, from foundational poses such as Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), Salabhasana (Locust Pose), and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog) to more complex chair-supported Viparita Dandasana variations. Preparatory standing poses that emphasise backbend techniques are incorporated to prepare your body for the backbends that follow. This class not only consolidates your understanding of backbends and preliminary inversions but also boosts energy, builds strength, and enhances overall vitality.
