WORKSHOP: Heart Opening Back-bends (+Gratitude)

November 10, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Back-bends and heart openers. Are they the same thing? Physically, there are many similarities, and we’ll dive into how to engage your back-body to open your front-body. We’ll also look at some of the subtle differences between a gentle heart opener vs a strong and stable backbend. This is an all-levels workshop, so there’s a little something for everyone.  

We’ll play with:

  • The 3 categories of backbends
  • Building strength and stability in your low back, and learning ways to release your low back
  • How to align your spine for optimal movement
  • Wheel pose, and many steps to focus on along the way (and multiple other fun backbends!)

This blend of both physically opening your heart through a strong and flexible back, and emotionally opening your heart through conscious gratitude meditation will leave you feeling refreshed. You’ll also learn new skills to add to your daily practice! Join Larissa and crew for 2 hours of back-bending glory, ending with a lovely and restful 20 min gratitude practice before we head into savasana.
