INVERSIONS.
BACKBENDS AND SITTING WITH YOUR BREATH
This class will turn your world upside/down in order
to explore the dynamics of inverting the body through
building a solid foundation from which to grow while
also looking at the opposing forces at play in Inversions.
Backbends will be redefined as front openings and sitting
quietly will be explored as an active participation
in self-exploration through developing a relationship
with our lifelong companion, breath.
