AIR MANDALA: FREEING THE FRONT BODY FOR BACKBENDS.

  • Paper Dress Yoga 352 Mare Street London, England, E8 1HR United Kingdom (map)

Mandala Yoga recognises the classical elements; Fire, Earth, Air and Water as being connected to specific areas of the body and their associated chakras. These 2 hour workshops are designed to work deeply into the target area, leading to a thorough understanding and accessing of peak poses. The Mandala flow take us 360° around the mat, warming the body and giving us a new perspective on our often linear practice. We will start and end the session with Pranayama and Yin Yoga, opening and 'closing' the areas of the body we are working.

This third of four workshops will focus on Air Mandala - freeing the front body for backbends.

To achieve a deep backbend must release through the front body, particularly the hip flexors and shoulders. In this workshop we will also be looking at a variety of backbends, as well as proper alignment and common mistakes. We will build strength in our backbends and have fun with different entries to urdhva dhanurasana (wheel pose).
