I just finished teaching a great 2 hour backbend workshop!

I had so much fun teaching it and my students explored two themes:

👉the concept that we can go beyond our mind's reaction to something that's "hard" and find a state of INNER ease, even when something is challenging.

👉to reverse the "forward slump" we all have a tendency toward depends on releasing and lengthening the spine starting at your tailbone AND effective backbends for both the lower spine and upper spine.

My students discovered that this combination, plus using their arms and abs, gave them more flexibility and movement in their spine and they felt longer and taller!

How has yoga benefited your health?

"June 21 was declared as the International Yoga Day by the United Nations General Assembly... the UNGA endorsed that 'Yoga provides a holistic approach to health and well-being... The wider dissemination of information about the benefits of practicing Yoga would be beneficial for the health of the world population.' This infused an era of holistic health revolution in which attention was given more to prevention rather than the cure."
