Opening the Heart - a Back Bending Workshop

with Eliane Codiroli

We spend most of our day in a forward bending position, shoulders and back rounded forwards. Consequently, the muscles in our back lengthen and weaken and the muscles in the front of the body over-contract. It's a position that re-enforcers a feeling of closing inwards.

A healthy Spine needs to be flexible in all directions. We need to try a find a balance by bringing backbends into our daily lives. Practising backbends will help to strengthen the back and re-align the Spine. On an emotional level, backbends help to increase confidence, compassion, and openness.

Who can attend?

This workshop is suitable for all levels as we will work with a variety of different backbends at different levels.

This workshop qualifies for 2 BWY CPD points.

If you have any particular needs, please contact us in advance.
