Class Descriptions

Backbends - This is a class to inspire people to love backbends.  We will explore ways + techniques to soften stiffness so backbends feel more accessible and inviting.  Heart openers can be fun and not something to fear!

Arm Balances & Hip Openers -
Play with gravity + let go of resistance in the hips to find freedom + levity.  Explore in-depth arm balances and let go of what holds us back from our full power.  We'll find strength and grace through challenge as we safely open the hips and have fun balancing on our hands.
