Join me for a weekend of workshops in Valencia, Spain at The Yoga Box!

Saturday Sept 28 - Hips + Inversions

Sunday Sept 29 - Backbending with Strength

HIPS & INVERSIONS | SÁBADO 6 ABRIL 11:30 – 13:30

This workshop focuses on hip opening and inversion techniques designed to designed to strengthen and open the upper and lower body.

The workshop begins with a warm up vinyasa class that will focus on creating heat in the lower body. After the class, students will go into their hip circuit, through a series of repeated hip opening postures. Different variations of each pose will be offered. Each hip circuit will be interspersed with inversions and arm balances designed to compliment the hip opening practice. Students will learn proper shoulder techniques, focal points, and will utilize their bandhas to deepen control and strength during their inversion. Although inversions seem intimidating, this workshop is designed for all levels, and will utilize tools and variations that allow every student to face the fear and disorientation of being upside down. 

BACKBENDING WITH STRENGTH | DOMINGO 7 ABRIL 11:30 – 13:30

We will begin with a strong vinyasa class that includes abdominal exercises, standing postures, and inversions. After the warm up, we will flow into classical backbending postures with an interactive lecture focusing on alignment and technique. To safely backbend, it is imperative that we use our strength and awareness to open the body. In this 2 hour workshop we will focus on using the lower body, the muscles along the spinal column and the breath to open the front-side body and ultimately facilitate the backbend. Mantra and pranayama will also be taught. 

* Both workshops will be taught in English.
