Focus

Boost your backbend practice with this Supported Backbends sequence, designed to open your shoulders and thoracic spine while progressing towards more advanced asanas such as Urdhva Dhanurasana. Perfect for those days when you’re juggling a busy schedule but still want to lift your energy and deepen your practice, this class focuses on alleviating stiffness in the upper back and shoulders, common limiting factors in backbends. Utilising supports such as a chair and bolster, you’ll be able to hold poses for extended periods, facilitating deeper changes and significant progress. Experience the benefits of prolonged, supported backbends as you create more space and flexibility, leading to a more balanced and composed practice.
