The Roots of the Heart:
Backbends for a Strong and Supple Spine
Expand the energy of the heart from a stable and functional foundation in the lower body that preserves the integrity of the spine. Learn to thread the core from the legs to the pelvic floor through the spine and to the heart. Develop range of motion along the front line of the body and ready yourself for more supple backbends. Gain strength, coordination, and courage as you stabilize the nervous system and conquer fear of moving into unseen territory.
Backbends are important to practice because they allow us to physically explore shapes we don’t make in daily life. They also represent how we can expand our sense of self into unknown space and challenge fear with courage.
Expect a full asana practice that begins with a short meditation, mudra, and simple chant about the contents of the spiritual heart. We will close with a luxurious back release and savasana.
