Backbending Workshop
Level 1: How to get started

A mindful introduction to the art of backbending

This beginner-friendly workshop is your entry point into the world of backbending – the practice of spinal extension that builds strength, flexibility, and awareness. Whether you’re completely new or looking to establish a solid foundation, Backbending Level 1 offers a safe and structured way to get started.

You’ll be guided through a gentle, holistic sequence designed to activate the entire body and prepare you for deeper work over time.

What to expect:
🔹 A soft, mobilizing warm-up with rolling and circular movements
🔹 Foundational strength exercises such as plank holds, push-up holds, superwoman/man, and leg raises
🔹 Gentle stretches focused on:

Shoulder opening
Holistic spine opening (upper, middle, and lower back)
Hip extension and lengthening of the quadriceps

All poses are held for 5 calm breaths – no long-minute holds just yet. Each exercise is repeated 3 times to encourage muscle memory and steady progression.

💡 The goal: to build confidence and competence in Level 1 so you can advance to Level 2 when ready.

Who is it for?
Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to (re)build a strong and safe foundation for their backbending journey – no prior experience needed.

Artful Asanas: The Fifth Series – Backbending
Reworked. Remastered.

The heart of the practice. The axis.

Backbending, where strength meets surrender, and the spine becomes a bridge – between breath and boldness, softness and structure.

This new series is a deep exploration of hip and spinal extension, quad lengthening, glute engagement, chest and shoulder opening, and active backbending techniques.

Rooted in alignment, refined through repetition, and infused with mindful control.

Artful Asanas: The Fourth Series – Bonebreaking 2
Reworked. Remastered.

Stability within instability…

This series is all about the shoulders – from deep rotations to controlled dislocations.
You’ll explore the edge between mobility and instability, learning how to create safety in the midst of surrender.

Bonebreaking 2 opens the door to a new level of shoulder awareness and expressive control.
If Bonebreaking 1 was about unlocking the lower body – deep external rotations, knee and ankle mobility, and leg-behinds – Bonebreaking 2 is its counterpart for the upper body.
You’ll learn how to navigate the delicate line between mobility and instability, expanding your range without losing control.

Through targeted preps and mindful sequences, Bonebreaking 2 refines your awareness and builds the structural freedom needed for expressive upper body work.

Artful Asanas: The Third Series – The Splits
Reworked. Remastered.

Welcome to the art of the split.
Not a destination — but a dialogue between strength and surrender.
A soft unraveling. A fierce commitment.

This third series of Artful Asanas explores the many faces of the split:
✨ Front Split Foundations — where intention meets extension
✨ Middle Split Grounding — where openness is earned
✨ Advanced Expressions — standing, laying, hooked, and held in breath
⠀
It’s not about touching the floor.
It’s about meeting yourself where you are — again and again.

Artful Asanas: The Second Series – Bonebreaking 1
Reworked. Remastered.

Bend so deep the mind lets go

This sequence dives into the raw depth of the hips, knees, and ankles — where structural integrity meets surrender.
Kandasana, Leg Behind the Head, and other deep hip-openers challenge not only the body but the nervous system.
A practice for those ready to go beyond refinement — to rethink movement from the ground up.

Pain-free. Systematic. Yet wild.

Artful Asanas: The First Series – Frontbending
Reworked. Remastered.

A quiet invitation to go deeper – not just into folds and forms, but into yourself.
This class explores the balance of strength and surrender, compression and expansion, control and softness.
For deeper forward bends, stronger compressions, better extensions, and more open hips – not by force, but through flow.
Breathe. Move. Unfold.

Come as you are. Leave a little more grounded.

Artful Asanas – The Main Series

This is more than a sequence.
It´s a space to arrive in yourself…

A holistic foundation that strengthens, opens, and balances the entire body.
Preparatory in name — complete in spirit.
Dive into a practice designed to build flexibility, strength, and resilience
— and to prepare you for everything that follows.

Begin here. Return here. Grow here.

A skillful challenge in balance, mobility, and body awareness.

This workshop explores the standing split as a dynamic expression of control and openness – with layered options to meet you where you are.

You don’t have to reach the leg.
You just have to reach for it – with presence.

The foot hook isn’t a pose – it’s a conversation.
Learn how to listen.

A deep dive into the mechanics behind this powerful expression.
This workshop guides you through accessible variations and active techniques to safely prepare your hips, quads, spine, and shoulders.

Explore. Refine. Connect.

A clear and accessible approach to front splits – designed to support you at every stage of your journey.

This foundational workshop focuses on healthy alignment, gradual depth, and functional range – without pressure or forcing.

Ideal for beginners. Grounding and clarifying for advanced practitioners.
