Supported Backbends & Back Releasing Poses – Weekly Advanced Class 369

This class integrates supported backbends and therapeutic poses to enhance spinal health and overall vitality. The backbend sequence is designed to boost energy levels while providing maximum support, enabling deeper exploration and comfort. Key backbends such as Urdhva Mukha Svanasana, Viparita Dandasana, and Urdhva Dhanurasana are practiced with the aid of a chair, allowing for extended staying time and more focused opening of the upper back. The sequence begins with variations of Virabhadrasana 1, introducing foundational actions that are further developed in the supported backbends. A reclining pose follows, gently opening the shoulders and preparing the upper body for deeper work. The class concludes with restorative poses like Malasana, Uttanasana, and Supta Padangusthasana to ease tension, rebalance the spine, and leave you feeling calm and revitalised.
