Light and Grace: Bending Your Back Beautifully

Type:  Sat (Asana/Pranayama / BrahmaFoundation / Intense (Adhimatra)

INSTRUCTOR: Joyce Zouves Van Rensburg

Class Description: When we think of backbends we all imagine being able to bend our backs beautifully, with the minimum of effort and the maximum grace. Sadly, for most of us, the reality is all too often that we use maximum effort and perform the asanas with minimal grace. In this class, Joyce will give us the tools to prepare our bodies adequately, for this is indeed the secret to achieving beautiful backbends. She will demonstrate how to accomplish backbends without injury or exaustion . When we perform these asanas well, we encourage energy to flood through our spines and open our heart charkas. We are able then to experience that lightness in our bodies and pure joy and exhiliration in our beings that accompanies the successful completion of these more difficult but dynamic asanas.
