The Power of Backbends with Anneke Faas

Uplift Yourself with the Power of Backbends

Sunday, December 4th: 1 – 3:30 pm PST

In-person with option to join via livestream

with Anneke Faas

Backbends open the body and create joy. At the holiday season we need to harness the capacity to keep our hearts open and find the light within. Uplifting the spine and giving support to the heart is the foundation to back extensions.

In this workshop, we will explore the poses that prepare you for backbends. You will learn the important steps that lead to backbends, modifications for different body types, and how to practice them at home.

Intermediate students will have an opportunity to solidify their knowledge and explore more advanced versions of these asanas with this afternoon of intensive study.

This class is appropriate for level 2 Iyengar Yoga students who are ready to explore level 2 & 3 poses and delve deeper into understanding backbends.

The workshop will be held in person at Adeline Yoga Studio in Berkeley, CA.  OR signup to stream the workshop live.  All participants will receive the recording.
