Welcome!
3-day Build a Badass Backbend Workshop
Welcome! I am so happy to see you! Understanding the FOUR main areas involved in a backbend is the best way to identify where and how to grow, so you can move from PLATEAUED to PROGRESS.
SAVE THE DATE - THIS WORKSHOP IS DELAYED DUE TO AN INJURY.
Thanks for your patience and understanding while I heal. I can’t wait to work together on improving your backbend :)

BE PREPARED / PROPS: All days: Wall space next to your mat, or your mat pulled up to a wall. 2 blocks, strap set to shoulder width, a longer strap. Day 2 Yin: Sturdy stool / small table / higher office chair that can hold all of your weight. Sometimes I stack hardcover books over a stool. 36-40 inches high… The higher it is, the more intense the stretch will be, so I recommend lower over higher.
ON ZOOM. The link for the class will be sent the day before our first class. If you can’t make it, no worries! A replay will be sent out to you, and you will have a week to practice with it, and show us your progress.
INVITE FRIENDS - we care more when we practice with people we care about.

Community, Accountability, Knowledge and FUN! These are the foundations for growth here.
You do NOT need to read this whole page :) All of this is here for reference and will be covered in your emails.
DAY 1, KNOWLEDGE: A) Learn the 4 areas you need to work on in order to grow your backbend. B) Identify your own unique areas that you need to develop for the growth you desire. C) Move through a slower yoga class centered around mobility, and practice some backbends! (Morning / Sunday)
DAY 2, COMMUNITY & ACCOUNTABILITY: Long, slow deep stretches. Develop sustainable Flexibility practices so you can work on your backbends without actually doing the backbends. Train your nervous system to relax even when stretching areas of the body we prefer to protect - our hearts, shoulders and hip flexors. Bonus: You’ll get a great night’s sleep. (Evening / Monday)
DAY 3, FUN: Do a fun and fast Vinyasa Flow class where we flow, we laugh, we get upside down at the wall (only if you want to!) maybe arm balance, then backbend, backbend, backbend for growth, followed by a nice Savasana. Crank out the work with friends, don’t take it too seriously, and make deposits into your backbend bank account - together. (Morning, Tuesday)
