Backbends can be some of the most liberating—and intimidating—postures in yoga. In this special workshop with our Leila, we’ll break down the mystery of the backbend and build your confidence from the ground up.

You’ll start by understanding the anatomy of your spine—how it moves, where it gets stuck, and how to unlock new pathways for mobility and strength. We’ll explore a wide variety of backbending postures and variations, from foundational shapes like Cobra and Bridge to deeper expressions such as Camel and Wheel.

Expect a solid warm-up, intentional sequencing, and practical tools that will help you feel safe, supported, and strong as you move deeper into your practice. We’ll dive into the principles of alignment, breath, and preparation to make sure your backbends are both effective and sustainable.

Whether you’re new to backbending or looking to deepen your experience, this workshop will leave you with fresh insight and a whole lot more space in your body and mind.

Come curious, come open, come ready to bend.
