Workshop - The Art of Backbending

Description

Back bends are challenging and take time and patience. Bending backwards, opening up your heart may make you feel vulnerable. However, we come back to the mat again and again to learn how to move through challenging sensations rather than running away from it. Learn how to open your heart in a way that allows you to experience joy and freedom.
