In these 2h, we’ll deviate from the traditional and delve into backbending through a mindful mobility lens. Alex will guide you through a slow build-up of mobility practices, unveiling the power of your core and lower body in propelling you on a heart-opening journey. This approach goes beyond relying solely on natural flexibility; it’s an inclusive invitation for every body to join the practice.

Whether you’re a beginner seeking the right approach or an experienced practitioner aiming for advanced transitions, this workshop is your compass to navigate the personalized path of your backbending journey. Open to all levels, it’s an exploration of fluidity, grace, and self-discovery.
