Deepening in Backbends with Melis Erek, CY Local Maltepe

Saturday, November 9, CY Local Maltepe

14:00 - 17:00

In this workshop, you will examine the mechanics, techniques and alignment of intermediate and advanced backbend poses and learn how to adapt these poses to your body. At the same time, you will deepen your backbends with the correct use of walls and props.

We will start the workshop with backbend poses on our backs and continue with backbends in wall-supported inversions. We will experience transitioning from inversions to bridge pose with partner work.

Backbends allow us to open the front of our body, increase the flexibility and balance of our spine, increase our breathing capacity, and also connect us to the heart's energy full of love, compassion, empathy and acceptance, and revitalize us.

In this workshop, you are invited to overcome your fears with the energy of love and compassion, and deepen by spending enjoyable time on the mat! This workshop is suitable for anyone who can reach bridge pose and has body awareness in inversions.
