Stability and Freedom in Twists & Forward Bends

We often think of twists and forward bends as quiet poses. Cooling. Introspective. Restful.

But when approached with care, they teach us something far more profound:
How stability creates freedom.

In this mini-workshop, we’ll explore:

• How grounding the legs brings lightness to the spine
• How containment in the abdomen creates space for breath
• How steadiness allows deeper release
• How alignment clarifies experience

Twists teach us integration.
Forward bends teach us surrender.
Both require intelligence, not force.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find more space without collapsing…
or more depth without strain…
this workshop is for you.

Join me for an afternoon of thoughtful practice rooted in the Iyengar method.

Let’s explore stability so that freedom can arise.

Back extensions aren’t about bending deeper.
They’re about changing how you extend.

On January 24, we’re diving into Technique & Transformation in Back Extensions
through the precision and intelligence of the Iyengar Method.

This isn’t a “drop-back” class.
It’s about learning how back extensions educate the spine, awaken the nervous system, and transform your practice from the inside out.

If backbends feel stuck, strained, or intimidating—
this session will change your relationship with them.
