1-2 December // 2-day Backbends Intensive with Juliette van der Weijde

Focus on Strength & Flexibility: creating awareness in the smaller, more subtle muscle groups related to the different segments of the spine. Understanding the importance of preparing the body with basic postures: to release tension and to create length in the anterior line (front side) of the body and to learn the proper selection of muscle groups responsible for mobility.

Improving the understanding in your body avoids that all the weight falls on the most flexible part of your lower back (L4/L5) which could cause injury. The awareness created by this practice increases your mobility, while still breathing properly and using less effort in order to accomplish advanced Asanas with ease.

This method has been designed to:

✺ Improve the overall health of your spine and to reduce deterioration on a physical level that comes with age

✺ Improve the backbends in your regular Asana practice

✺ Releasing tension from the chest and shoulders, improving lung capacity

✺ Opening the heart to release stored emotions and break through insecurity and fear.

After multiple years of intensive practice with him, Juliette was one of the first teachers in the world to be certified by renowned Backbends teacher Vinay Kumar from PranaVashya Yogashala in Mysore, India. She’s teaching weekly Backbends classes in Berlin (& online) and workshops internationally based on his method. It’s an all-level workshop with extra variations for experienced students. Creating stability and strength is essential for a good foundation to work safely towards more advanced backbends.
