Better Backbends \/ Erica Mather

No other movement practice prioritizes backbends the way yoga does. Why? Because Backbending is so far removed from normal, everyday experiences and commonplace movements! But, Backbending is essential for a few reasons:
● Achieves back health in novel ways
● Frees up cerebrospinal fluid
● Connects you to your heart
● Alters your perspective
Forrest Yoga Backbending techniques help even the most reluctant, novice, or injured backbender feel accomplished.

In this workshop students can expect:
● Detailed instruction to instill techniques applicable in all classes
● Strong Forrest Yoga practice
● To leave feeling taller, longer, lighter
● New understanding and perhaps even affection for Backbending
Whether you are a beginner, or an advanced practitioner, this workshop will enhance your practice and hold new insights for you.
