Backbends keep your brain active, your spine flexible and your heart healthy. They help relieve depression, create space and relaxation in the muscles of and around the heart and give the immune system a ‘boost’. In this masterclass we delve deep into the world of backbends and explore their transformative power.
Come along on this journey of discovery!
Backbends not only strengthen the body but also create a sense of openness and freedom. By using the principles of alignment and precision that characterize Iyengar yoga, you will learn how to safely and effectively open your chest, hips and spine, creating energy and developing both strength and flexibility.
If backbends are not yet your favorite poses, trust that this can change. During the masterclass, Nadège will provide you with insight and props that can make bending backwards a safe and new sensation.
