One Step Further: Introduction to Backbends with Sandy Likitdachavongs

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Backbends are meant to be therapeutic and healing, but many of us find ourselves getting injured and developing a fear of them instead. In this weekend workshop, Sandy will guide you through her ways of heart opening to ensure you have a safe and pain-free practice, inviting more space to take your backbend practice one step further.

Alignment, Activation, and Engagement—these form the basis of Sandy's practice and teachings. Right from the get-go, we will learn how to properly align the spine, activate the back muscles, and engage the glutes for backbends. From basic cobra to the beautiful king pigeon, learn how you can safely enter and exit these poses effectively with minimal pain.
