Uplift yourself with backbends on the ropes with Deborah Saliby
January 4, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Saturday, January 4 from 2 – 4:30 pm in person
A special in-person workshop with Deborah Saliby
Use our rope wall to uplift yourself, get out of pain and learn how beneficial backbends can be
January is a great time to get into the yoga studio and uplift yourself. This special workshop with Deborah will focus on the exact practices to help you do that: back bends using the ropes.
In this special workshop, we will begin with back care to prepare the spine for back extensions on the ropes. Working with traction on the ropes creates space in our joints and vertebral column and can add comfort and greater mobility to our practice. We will learn to elongate and open the spine while moving into back extensions off the ropes.
Back extensions can be energizing and uplifting. Our hearts and minds receive a special kind of freedom as our perspectives swift towards a new sense of positivity and openness in the new year.
Deborah Saliby is a long time yoga teacher from the Iyengar tradition. She loves teaching and helping people find comfort and ease in their bodies. Join us in person and feel better.
Who is this program for? It is best for students who have some yoga experience. It is wonderful for anyone who feels general stiffness and occasional pain due to compressions and minor misalignment. It is also suitable for those wanting to learn basic backbends and strength building so they don’t injure themselves. If you have major injuries, private 1-on-1 lessons with Deborah would be best, not this workshop.
In-Person at Adeline Yoga: This workshop will be held in-person at our studio in Berkeley.
Tuition: Sliding scale $15-85
Suggested donation: $50
All proceeds from this workshop will go to the Yoga Blessings Scholarship Fund to support yoga students during this time. Donate for yourself or for others to attend.
