WHAT'S A BACKBEND ALL ABOUT

Backbends come with some serious promises and aren't accessible to all people and certainly aren't sustainable if done in the extreme way. I know, I know, you don't want to give them up or you want to still be able to try them and this practice makes space for both. Explore all the efforts and possibilities that backbends like cobra, camel, bow, upward bow, crescent contain without having to do a single one.

HANDSTAND ONE DAY BUT TODAY DRILLS

Handstand takes time and patience to learn not to mention tons and tons of drills.  In this class you'll have a chance to work on the efforts joint by joint and region by region that you'll need in order to complete a handstand perhaps one day.  If you have no interest in that this is still a great slow, strong, fun class.
