In this 2 hour workshop we will learn the anatomy of backbends and how to work with both our upper body and lower body to prepare progressively and move safely in our backbend practice. We will learn how to approach backbends with exercises for opening, mobility, and flexibility for our spine, our shoulders, our upper back; as well as for our hip flexors, psoas, hips, and hamstrings.
We will learn different drills and variations of these exercises for our own body, as well as learning more of our own anatomy and what we need to work on in our own bodies, and what works for each of us individually. We will also develop a mini warm up sequence that will help us incorporate what we have learn to our daily practice. We will work with postures that strengthen both our back and our core so as to be able to sustain a healthy and sustainable practice of backbends. We will work individually to internalize what we learn, and in pairs to be able to learn from different bodies and proportions.

Prenatal yoga gives mamas a valuable space to get centered and nurture their pregnancy journey. This class is open to all levels of yoga experience, during any stage of pregnancy. Each class includes alignment based yoga and movement instruction, laboring techniques, meditation and deep relaxation. Along with helping with common aches and pains that can be associated with pregnancy, these practices will also help prepare a mama’s body for birth and her postpartum period. This class is lead by Kate Miller, a certified prenatal yoga teacher, professional birth doula and childbirth educator. While Kate brings more than 20 years of teaching alignment based hatha yoga to her classes, she also weaves her knowledge of comfort measures and laboring techniques to prepare mamas for birth. If you’re expecting, you won’t want to miss this class to help support your pregnancy, birth and baby!
