The Warm up

Before we explore deeper backbends, we need to prepare the body to move with strength, mobility, and awareness. In this warm-up, we’ll gently awaken the muscles and joints that support your backbending practice, creating space through the shoulders, spine, hips, and front body. You’ll move through intentional exercises designed to increase body awareness, activate the muscles that help stabilize your backbends, and prepare your tissues for the deeper work ahead. Remember, a beautiful backbend isn’t about forcing your way into a shape. It’s about building the strength, mobility, and confidence to move into it with control and ease. Take your time, breathe deeply, and let this warm-up become an essential part of your backbend practice. Let’s prepare your body to bend beautifully. 💜
