Back Bending & Pranavayu Workshop, Nov. 14th

Join guest teacher, Lisa Benner from Sonic Yoga in NYC, for this special back bending workshop. Although they can be initially challenging, practicing backbends can increase energy and counteract depression, stimulate the nervous system, massage the heart and lungs, adjust the vertebral column and help to regulate the menstrual cycle. The abdominal muscles receive a stretch in back bending postures, encouraging prana vayu (in breath), stimulating samana vayu (the middle breath) and purifying the solar plexus – classically referred to as the abdominal brain. When the solar plexus is healthy and strong then the body and mind will have the same vitality.

In this workshop, you will focus on accessing prana while learning to move safely and receptively through various back bending postures. We will move through more comfortable sequences to find our way to the middle breath and more advanced sequences to redirect the in breath. This workshop is suitable for yogis with an ongoing practice. Yoga teachers earn 2 CEU hours for this workshop.
