Oops! Something went wrong on our end.

Backbending is a practice of trust and vulnerability. Open the front of your body which is often protected and create more spaciousness. Examine these sensations in a whole new way. Begin with a heart opening vinyasa warm up before taking it airborne. Imagine a weightless backbend, supported by another where you can completely surrender. Use a blanket under base's hips to assist tight hamstrings. For safety, always fly in groups of three.
