LIBERATE YOUR LUMBAR: Therapeutic Backbending

with Cora Wen

 

liberate lumbarBackbends are invigorating, uplifting and opening. They help to stimulate proper functioning of digestion, preserve health in spinal discs and vertebral column, and open the body to diaphragmatic breathing. Backbends stretch the front body, allowing deeper breathing, and releases tension in the shoulders and spine. Learn to move with ease and effortlessness, and release into the joy of backbends!

Backbends can help increase lung capacity, prevent arthritis, alleviate depression, build stamina and improve circulation, digestion and immune function. But they demand a lot from the most vulnerable part of our spine—the lumbar. To protect the back, approach them with precise alignment and learn to engage key core muscles for safe movement.

 

Backbends are believed to help us move from the past into the present, and to help open our heartmind and let go of fear. Learn techniques and tips to soar in your backbends!

 

In this workshop you will:

– Strengthen & liberate legs, pelvis & belly
– Develop evenness over intensity
– Build a foundation of power & support
– Lengthen & decompress spine
