Backbends For Stiff Bodies – Weekly Intermediate Class 355

This class is designed to make backbends accessible and beneficial for those with stiffer bodies, offering a gentle yet thorough exploration of foundational backbending asanas. You’ll be guided through a carefully adapted selection of “baby” backbends, focusing on the key actions and essential techniques that form the basis of a healthy backbend practice. In addition, a series of standing poses is integrated to emphasise and reinforce these backbend techniques. Poses like Salabhasana, Dhanurasana, Ustrasana, and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana are gradually introduced, allowing you to build strength, improve posture, and boost energy levels while increasing spinal flexibility and elasticity. This class is perfect for consolidating your understanding of backbends while gently expanding your practice.
