This is a 45 minute practice for those of us who don’t love backbends, or are looking to understand backbends a bit more. We will be using the natural ebb and flow of the breath to create ease and stability in the low belly and low back, allowing our backbends to be fluid, living, evolving shapes as opposed to feeling stagnant or forced. We explore the subtle actions of our breath in virasana, table and plank before moving into a standing series with low lunge, crescent, warrior 1 and warrior 3. We apply our breath and the awareness built in this practice to sphinx, cobra, upward facing dog, and a mild camel. We round our practice out with a hamstring release, a supine twist, and reclined bound angle.

Tunisia did not disappoint. From mindblowing ancient ruins, to beautiful beaches, to unending desert, stunning mosques, winding medinas, and the friendliest people. Eternally grateful to our guide Ridha, for sharing his country with us. To the inspiring women who were my fellow travelers. To @expthevillage for supporting (and encouraging) my love for seeing the world. And to each of you for following along. Oh, and @apple for your AirTag, you really saved the trip ππΌππΌππΌ
I am here this week leading my normal schedule at @resonanceyogacollective, and then gone traveling in Tunisia for the next two weeks. Lots of gratitude to michael, @kristenaubertlydon, @newmountainswellness, and @meg.boyd_ for subbing my classes while Iβm gone.
Iβm grateful everyday to live, work, and play in a community that I love. In a community where what you do, which businesses you choose to spend money at, which events you show up for, and where you invest your time all makes a profound impact. And I am mostly grateful to get to be working every day alongside so many awesome humans who love this community as much as I do, and spend their free time making it better for everyone.
