These poses help you release tension in the hips and shoulders while safely opening the heart. Whether you are here for a gentle stretch or to work on deep backbends, my classes focus on listening to your body, not just hitting a target.

Taking a moment to open my heart in Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, or One-Legged King Pigeon Pose. This deep backbend is a beautiful expression of flexibility and grace.

Life is beautiful, especially when you can practice deep backbends like this forearm wheel pose surrounded by palm trees. This pose opens the entire front body.

Finding a moment of surrender in Uttana Shishosana, or Extended Puppy Pose, on the sand. This pose is a wonderful way to open the shoulders and thoracic spine.

My wobbly attempt at Ek Pada Chakrabandhasana. It wasn't the smoothest entry, but I got there. Celebrating this small milestone in my backbending journey.

I'm back at it. This chin stand, Ganda Bherundasana, is a deep backbend and inversion that requires a lot of strength and trust. Let's grow and evolve together.

Unlocking the power of hip mobility is key to expanding your yoga practice. This routine includes poses like Malasana (garland pose) and happy baby to enhance posture and prevent injuries.

Overcoming our fears on the mat can give us courage off the mat too. This backbending flow helps us confront and release stored emotions by opening the heart.

About Flexibility & Opening: Backbends & Hips

I do not believe in rushing into deep shapes. In my classes, we start by warming up the spine and hip joints with targeted mobility drills, not just static stretching. Whether you are using cork blocks for support or exploring your first wheel pose, I will be there to spot you and ensure your alignment is safe, letting you focus on the sensation rather than the performance.
