Bend Not Break: A Mobility-informed Backbend Workshop (Non-Pole) (All Levels)
Details
NOTE: You MUST sign up and pay via our website to reserve your spot (https://flyingbuddhastudio.com/#Events). Simply responding yes to attend via Meetup does not hold your spot. Thank you for your understanding!
Do backbends scare you? Let’s break them down! We’ll start by regulating our nervous system, then we’ll do different mobility-informed drills to practice pieces separately before putting it all together with lots of options and entries. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of what their body needs to work on to achieve this shape. You’ll need two blocks and access to a wall.
