Spine Unlocked - Backbending for Mortals

A workshop for anyone who has ever been curious (or intimidated) by backbends.

Spine Unlocked blends yoga, mobility, functional movement & anatomy-informed techniques to help you safely open your chest, shoulders, and spine while protecting and supporting your body.

Join me for a clear and empowering deep dive into the art of healthy backbending through awareness, strength, and intelligent movement. We’ll explore the mechanics of the spine, building articulation, stability, and openness from the ground up.

Through functional mobility, you’ll learn how to activate the hips and core to create safe, supported, and confident heart-opening backbends. Expect to move with precision, awaken your spine, and reconnect to the energizing, uplifting power of expanding your heart space.

Open, strengthen, and feel amazing in your spine!
