Yoga in the Park Mindful Monday Mornings: Backbends (6-week series)
Hartman Reserve Nature Center, Black Hawk County
Monday, April 1, 2024
Monday mornings, April 1st - May 6, 8 AM-9 AM in-person at Hartman Reserve Nature Center, virtually on Zoom, or practice with the recordings any time on juliaandreini.com.
The next Mindful Monday Mornings 6-week series will be building backbends from the ground up. No previous backbend experience required! We’ll pay extra attention to front-body flexibility and spine extension, and back-body strength and stability. Expect both strength and stretching for the hip flexors and quads, mobilization of the whole spine, and extra emphasis on strength of the upper back and mobility of the shoulders!
In addition to the physical components, we will be focusing on kriya and pranayama to clear the respiratory passages and lungs, and visualization and meditation to clear the cobwebs of spring and welcome summer. This is a great series for those with a known ayurvedic kapha imbalance and symptoms associated with it (spring allergies, lethargy, a feeling of “stuckness”), and those who would like to explore a more broken-down backbend practice.
Class is limited to: 20
Cost: $60
