Previous Class Next Class

Focus

Supported backbends. This sequence is designed to re-energise your backbend practice and help you to get back to including backbends more regularly and confidently in your home practice. It will be ideally suited to times when you feel you are in need of a backbending re-start. In addition to consolidating the foundations and fundamentals of this energising asana group, the sequence also includes lots of chest opening chair backbends. Poses like this can help you to rebuild momentum at times when you have been less regular with your backbend practice.

Key Poses

Dwi pada viparita dandasana, supported urdhva dhanurasana.

Equipment

Mat, chair, bolster, 2 blankets, 2 blocks.
