HD Recording of Doug Keller's recent Webinar with Yogawerkstatt.

This experience will be half learning, half practice, with a deep exploration of backbending using props — bolsters, blankets and blocks!

The ‘Core’ is more than the abdominals, and backbending is more than stretching the muscles of the front body, or strengthening the muscles of the back. There is a center of feeling and intelligence from the arches of the feet, through the psoas, pelvic floor, diaphragm, and neck that is awakened and enlivened by backbending. This is a myofascial line that is the thread that runs through our core.

Doug is introducing a new perspective on the feet, one which gives a grounding and focus for the practice, connecting it to the fullness of this thread through the body — and the benefits of this awareness for the body and breath.

From that foundation, we’ll move into a practice, focusing especially on the use of props in backbending, not only as a way to deepen our backbends, but to increase our awareness of the core space of the body — which is especially felt when we use the support of props to increase our sensitivity to it (as opposed to pushing too hard in unsupported backbends).

This will be an enlightening, creative, and invigorating experience! You’ll need a yoga chair, a bolster (two if possible, or extra blankets), two blankets, two blocks, and two belts.
