- **Event Description**: No other movement practice prioritizes backbends the way yoga does. Why? Because Backbending is so far removed from normal, everyday experiences and commonplace movements! But, Backbending is essential for a few reasons:

● Achieves back health in novel ways
● Frees up cerebrospinal fluid
● Connects you to your heart
● Alters your perspective

Forrest Yoga Backbending techniques help even the most reluctant, novice, or injured backbender feel accomplished.
 
In this workshop students can expect:

● Detailed instruction to instill techniques applicable in all classes
● Strong Forrest Yoga practice
● To leave feeling taller, longer, lighter
● New understanding and perhaps even affection for Backbending

Whether you are a beginner, or an advanced practitioner, this workshop will enhance your practice and hold new insights for you.
