Small-group sessions (6-8 students)

A 6-week series

Building on the foundation of Suryanamaskar A, we introduce three additional poses: Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana), Cobra (Bhujangasana), and Eight-Limbed Prayer Pose (Ashtanga Namaskara), also known as Knees, Chest, Chin. Together, these poses begin to introduce deeper backbends into our practice.

Through our exploration of forward folds, we have been developing a connection with moving deeply into the abdomen. We now bring that awareness into a different relationship with movement, exploring how the front of the abdomen can lengthen to give space to our backbends.

We continue to work with the placement and engagement of our hands and feet, awareness of the abdominal chain, and the bandhas. As we explore these poses, we become more familiar with how we maintain support while allowing length through the front of the body.

Over these six weeks, we give ourselves time to explore this balance of engagement and release. We return to the basics, allowing our understanding of each pose and its transitions to deepen through consistent practice.

Backbending gives us another way to discover how we move from within. There is always more to uncover.
