Backward bending (spinal extension) isn’t just a yoga pose or circus art, it’s essential to the health and longevity of the body.
In this workshop, Cameron, an Australian Yoga Asana champion, will be sharing the cutting edge insights he has gleaned from many years of being trained in the art of backbending from head coach for the international yoga sports federation Kim Tang - one of the world’s leading teachers in the therapeutic performance of backbends.
Suitable for the beginner or the pro, this hands-on workshop breaks down -
• Traction of the spine
• Therapeutic back bending
• Anatomy of a back bend
• Therapeutic external shoulder rotations
• Whole and half wall walks
• Pigeon rotations
and so much more.
The structural and physiological benefits of spinal extension (backbending) are enormous. Science has already demonstrated how backward bending prevents kyphosis (forward rounding of the spine); prevents disc degeneration - in fact spinal extension is used as physical therapy in cases of pr*****ed or herniated (also called “slipped”) spinal disc. Some studies show that it can actually reverse prolapse by helping the disc nucleus to migrate back into the centre of the disc. If you practice backbends proactively, you can help to prevent disc prolapse before it occurs.
Backbending prevents loss of bone mass and osteoporosis, and prevents and corrects back pain when performed with the correct technique.
In this three-hour workshop, Cameron will guide you in the finer aspects of applied technique so that you can execute a broad range of postures, which require spinal extension - enabling you to go deeper and safer into your own practice.
Cameron is a yoga master with years of experience
and a truly gentle instructor who will help you tailor your practice to suit your yoga practice goals.
