There's a wide variety of poses that we categorize as backbends, from the humble cobra pose to the expansive wheel pose. In this two hour workshop, we'll examine the common actions within backbends and work from smaller towards larger expressions. You can expect
a focus on the back body strength
creative ways to prepare and prop backbending poses
discussion of the shoulders and hips, and their roles in backbends.
Erin teaches movement skills as a means of doing a yoga pose. A modern understanding of movement does not oppose the philosophical traditions of yoga, rather these two elements combine to create deep self-inquiry. She considers herself to be an educator, so her classes are meant to inform and illuminate.
