Backbend Classes
•
27m
Madelyn's latest class is a 28 minute sequence that focuses on opening your heart and practicing poses that help to increase your spine flexibility. Heart opening postures can help to release tension in the chest and also help to correct the poor posture of slumping shoulders if you spend lots of time at a desk. It's also no secret that yogis believe a strong and flexible spine is a healthy spine. Numerous poses in this class will help you to practice spine flexibility and also improve posture. Poses include Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog), Crescent Pose(Twist), Urdhva Dhanurasana(Wheel), Dhanurasana(Bow), Paschimottanasana(Seated Forward Bend), Upavistha Konasana(Wide Legged Seated Forward Bend), Supta Virasana(Hero Variation) and more. Enjoy.
