Yoga for Spinal Health - Closed Twists and Backbends

Join us for a three-part yoga workshop series designed for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of spinal health. Through a blend of targeted movement, mindful alignment, anatomy-informed discussion, and guided self-inquiry, each session explores a different family of postures to create space, build strength, and increase mobility along the spine. Whether you're looking to move with more awareness, improve posture, or better understand how your body supports you, this series offers an accessible and thoughtful approach to spinal well-being.
We begin the session in Virasana (Hero’s Pose), using it as a diagnostic seat to observe spinal alignment, habitual tension, and breath awareness. From this grounded starting point, we break down targeted family of poses to better understand their relationship to spinal mechanics.
This session invites a softer, more introspective experience, focusing on poses that draw us inward through rotation and forward folding. Closed twists involve crossing the body toward the front leg, encouraging spinal rinsing and internal organ stimulation. Forward folds offer a release for the posterior chain and an invitation to settle into parasympathetic rest. Throughout the session, we emphasize spinal length before depth, encouraging a hinge from the hips and engagement of the lower abdomen to protect the lower back. Props will be used generously to support the body in surrendering to gravity without force. This final session is as much about energetic integration as it is about physical mobility. Students will leave feeling spacious, soothed, and more attuned to the rhythms of their own spine and breath.
Whether you're new to yoga, a longtime practitioner, or simply curious about how your body moves, this series offers accessible, anatomy-informed tools and insights to support your understanding of spinal health, in your practice and in daily life. Each session is designed to stand alone, so you're welcome to attend a single workshop or take all three for a more complete experience.
