As we bring symmetry to the body by balancing it, we come to our elusive center. Dancing close to the center sets the foundation for posture that allows ease of breath. From here, it's possible to balance the inhalation and the exhalation, which leads to a steady mind. Includes asana, pranayama, and meditation.

Whether backbends are restorative or active, we can address our fear through them. We'll approach difficulty by taking incremental steps and by anchoring ourselves in our center and to Mother Earth. We'll practice a sequence of backbends followed by standing poses. Mostly asana.

Get the spine adequately ready for backbending. Done properly, twists broaden the muscles around the spine to warm up the muscles; the release of the groin allows for a strong grounding from the legs to the spine. Come enjoy a wonderful twist sequence that prepares you for expansive backbends. Mostly asana.

When we open our hip joints evenly, they act as perfect gateways from our legs to our torso. Ideally, the thighbones are centered in the hip sockets, and the joints are fluid yet strong. Through myriad postures, sequenced with knowledge and intuition, we'll return to the true capacity of our hip joints. Mostly asana.
