Yoga for Your Back ✨

Come and explore Supported Virabhadrasana III with me.

Using the wall for support, we’ll reach the palms forward, keep the elbows soft and in, and draw the spine long. Feel the beautiful extension from the armpits, down the arms, and through to the back foot. We’ll focus on lifting the navel and gently engaging the hips for stability and strength.

A wonderful practice for a healthy, supported back.

When:
Tue 8th Sept | 4:30 - 5:30 PM
Thu 10th Sept | 6:30 - 8:45 AM

Where: The Railway Halls, 40 Macnamara Street, Manunda
Investment: $30 casual or class pass

I’d love to see you in class.
Namaste,
