Bending Over Backwards
A Heart Opening Playshop
with Kathleen Kelly eRYT 

Sunday, Jan. 15, 1-4 pm

The honest truth is that most of us are afraid of bending backward, even those who are very established in their yoga asana practice. Looking at our daily routines, we spend a lot of time moving forward. Benefits of backbends are endless.  Backbends stimulate the central nervous system, boost immune system, realign and increase mobility in the spinal column, open the hips, strengthen and stretch the legs. Backbends boost energy levels and relieve tensions stored in the muscles.
In this workshop the students will learn the fundamental proper alignment techniques to incorporate into a variety of back bending postures.  Fee $40
