Soft and Strong Backbends – 4 Week Series

w/Marla Tortorice

January 3, 10, 17 and 24, 2023

Backbends are effortful, but in them, we should also find a sense of ease—a softness.

Each week of this series breaks down a different element of backbending, or rather front body opening, so that we can learn which areas, perhaps beyond just our spines, might be restricting us from ease in these movements. We’ll build awareness towards which areas we need to open up and which areas we need to strengthen.

These classes combine flow with mobility and flexibility drills, always with room for play towards the end of class.

All levels of students, including beginners, are welcome. Modifications and variations will be given.

$60 for all four classes or $15 per class.
