Vinyasa Yoga Masterclass: Backbends + Twists
A supple spine is a happy spine
This 2-hour masterclass is designed for dedicated practitioners ready to deepen their relationship with backbends and twists through intelligent, breath-led movement. Rather than chasing depth or shape, we’ll explore the integration of strength, mobility, and awareness that allows these postures to emerge with clarity and freedom.
Through a thoughtfully layered vinyasa progression, we’ll refine spinal articulation, shoulder stability, and hip organization—creating the conditions for more expansive yet sustainable expressions of backbending and twisting. Expect a strong, steady flow that prioritizes consistency in breath, precision in transitions, and integrity in alignment.
Come prepared to engage fully—physically, mentally, and energetically—and to meet your edge with curiosity and discipline.
What you can expect:
Anatomy: Lecture and application on the anatomy of the spine in backbends and twists
Energetics: Chakra system as related to stability and mobility in backbends and twists
90-minute steady, rigorous Vinyasa Yoga Flow focused on backbends and twisting asanas, intelligently sequenced emphasizing breath, transitions, alignment, and equal parts strength and mobility
Asana refinement: Breakdowns of key actions for backbends and twists, including spinal extension, rotation, and shoulder integration
You’ll leave this workshop moving with greater clarity and precision on your yoga mat.
