Welcome to Yogabliss Asana Labs - Heart Opening Backbends for improved breath! Join me for a transformative experience on Sun 14 Sep at 10am at Zen Yoga. In this workshop, you'll learn how to open your heart through a series of backbend poses, allowing for deeper breath and increased flexibility. Whether you're a beginner or been practising for a whilei, this event is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their practice and connect with their breath. Come and join us for a morning of self-discovery and relaxation!
Backbends open the chest and shoulders promoting better posture, circulation and respiratory function, particularly important given our tendency to slouch over devices. As well as strengthening the spine, improving flexibility and mobility, backbends improve focus, relieve restlessness and open our heart to new possibilities as we move towards the cooler winds of autumn.
Every workshop will include meditation, pranayama (breathwork), dynamic strength building hatha yoga postures as well as longer held yin postures, yoga philosophy, a long relaxation and chai and chat afterwards
Whether you’re a curious beginner to yoga, a more practiced yogi/ni wanting a refresh, or you just want more space for questions and assists, this workshop is for you. Refine your practice by expanding your understanding of common postures and improve your overall yoga experience.
Teacher
Kanwal’s teaching style is characterized by warmth, intuition and clear communication. Her classes are engaging and inclusive, with an emphasis on deep stretches, slow flows and mindful breathing. She encourages students to go beyond the physical postures and to delve into the transformative philosophy that underlies yoga. Kanwal was drawn to yoga in her 20s as a way of keeping a centre of gravity whilst doing a robust job working on women’s rights and social justice and eventually trained with Yogahaven in 2010 (hot, vinyasa) and more recently with Norman Blair (yin). Kanwal has had a regular meditation and qi gong practice since 2017. She currently teaches hatha and yin yoga styles in South London.
