Backbending in the Rocket with the Dharma Wheel

Friday 31.5
10:00 – 12:00pm   Backbending in the Rocket with the Dharma Wheel!!

With Leon London & Maayan Shenhar

Often a practice with an emphasis on pushing, strength and floating can create tightness in the chest and shoulders. 
Besides muscle-bound tightness, there is our modern patterns of movement (sitting in a chair) that closes the front body. So it is very important that our yoga practice bring back balance and equanimity.
This workshop shows us the art of backbending isn't just about a flexible lumbar spine but rather a holistic approach is needed/ We will explore techniques to open the front body, hip flexors, shoulders, quads and thoracic spine will be unlocked.
 

One of modern yogas greatest gifts is the dharma wheel !
 

We will use this as one of the keys ‘an effective and superior tool to open your heart.
We will talk about what happens to the psyche when we allow the defense mechanism our body adapts to in modern stress to release and let go with patience, technique and intelligent offerings. 
Asanas explored: Scapula Activation, Shoulder Strengthening techniques, Shoulder openers, Hollow Backs, Urdhva Dhanurasana, Scorpion Pincha, etc.
