Ready to take a deep dive into your yoga practice?

In this workshop we will embark on a journey through the fascinating terrain of body anatomy in the context of backbends, the mechanics of the breath and the flow of prana (vital energy). You will discover techniques to enhance your spine’s range of motion in a way that is not only healthy but also intuitive, leveraging the natural anatomical mechanisms of the rib cage and shoulders to support and empower your back-bending postures. We will approach these postures from diverse angles, all aimed at helping you unlock the potential of your spine and body, making your yoga practice an enjoyable and enriching experience.

We will practice the asanas in different ways: standing, seated and reclined. The asana practice is deepened through use of props, working at the wall and some partner yoga. Backbends are known for their heart-opening effect as they target the fourth and fifth chakras.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER:

Susana has a 500h-Yoga Vinyasa Teacher Training from Svaha Yoga Amsterdam. With a background as a professional dancer and choreographer her knowledge of the body is reflected in her detailed cueing throughout the class in a dynamic flow, creating a foundation for strong awareness and understanding of the body and mind.
