Modern day lifestyle of long periods of sitting at a computer, often with a curved back and slouched shoulders, shrinks your chest cavity and puts pressure on your spine. This posture can make you feel sluggish, closed off and anything but joyful.
Backbends are a wonderful remedy, allowing you to open the front of the body so you can feel the joy of your breath flowing freely, improve flexibility in your spine and open your hips and shoulders.
In this workshop, we will safely warm up the body and use the Wall Ropes to go deeper into backbends. HeartfullTM Meditation will be incorporated to help expand the feeling of joy as you create more opening in your chest.
You will leave feeling more freedom in your breath, more alive, vibrant and embracing the joy of the moment.
Open to All!
