About
This class offers a gentle and accessible approach to backbends, ideal for aging bodies, stiffer practitioners, or anyone seeking a more supported and energising practice. Rather than placing strain on the lower back, the sequence emphasises opening the thoracic spine—helping to counteract kyphosis and age-related stiffness in the upper back and shoulders. Core actions drawn from Salabhasana are revisited across a variety of asanas, including standing poses such as Parsvottanasana and Virabhadrasana I. Supported variations of Ustrasana and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana further enhance upper chest and shoulder mobility. This class builds strength and vitality while maintaining a light and mindful approach to the spine and major joints.
