Backbending Workshop - Level 2

Backbending Workshop
Level 2: How to build upon Level 1

A dynamic progression into deeper backbending

This intermediate-level workshop is designed for practitioners who are ready to take the next step in their backbending journey. Building on the foundations of Level 1, this session introduces more dynamic movement, deeper variations, and targeted strength and mobility work – especially for the upper back, lower back, hips, and hamstrings.

We’ll revisit familiar shapes and actions from Level 1, but evolve them with greater intensity, new angles, and deeper layers of awareness.

What to expect:
🔹 A fluid, energizing warm-up to awaken the spine and nervous system
🔹 Evolving strength work: more complex holds, active range movements, and controlled transitions
🔹 Deeper backbends that begin to challenge your current range in:

Upper back opening with thoracic-focused drills
Lower back engagement and awareness for safe depth
Hip extension & quad lengthening with stronger stretches
Hamstring activation and flexibility to support the spine

You’ll be introduced to early backbend progressions like deeper Sphinx and Cobra variations, prep work for Bow, and dynamic bridges – always with a focus on form, breath, and internal feedback.

💡 The goal: to expand your capacity safely and gradually, bridging the gap between beginner and intermediate-level backbending with confidence.

Who is it for?
Ideal for those who have completed Level 1 or have a basic foundation in backbending. If you’re ready to explore more depth, more movement, and more spinal freedom – this workshop is your next step.
