Backbends for Postural Strength and Spinal Extension – Weekly Advanced Class 383

This class builds on the foundations established in the previous class, further developing key themes of spinal alignment, upper back mobility, and postural strength. It consolidates core techniques from poses such as Tadasana, Salabhasana, and Purvottanasana, reinforcing the actions that support upright posture and healthy spinal extension. From this solid base, the class progresses toward deeper chest opening and upper back engagement through a sequence of chair backbends. These supported backbends provide the opportunity to explore greater thoracic mobility while maintaining alignment and control, helping to prevent lower back compression. As the sequence unfolds, the connection between posture correction and backbending becomes more refined and embodied. This class offers both consolidation and challenge, making it a valuable progression for students looking to deepen their understanding of how backbends can strengthen and transform posture.
