Keeping a sharp eye on anatomy, you will learn to approach forward bends in a safe and intelligent way. Shanan will guide us through a sequence of asanas deliberately created for the discovery of new awareness and greater freedom in forward bends. This specific clan of poses is soothing, cooling and pacifying. They help us recover from fatigue as they quiet the nerves and brain. Join Shanan for a fun workshop intended to improve your understanding and performance of forward bending.
Some of the Benefits of Foward Bends
--Creates space between each vertebra, which benefits the nerves, improving circulation around the spine.
--As nerves from every organ, run through the spinal cord, this improved circulation has a positive impact on every bodily function, especially that of the brain.
--The compression, massage and fresh flush of circulation that a forward bend offers, benefits the abdominal organs including the liver, kidneys, pancreas and intestines.
--Anatomically, forward bending asanas, lengthen the hamstrings and inner leg muscles, keep back muscles supple, and strengthen the knees and front of the legs.
