'Monica’s Annual Back Bend Intensive is coming up 20–22 March.

Schedule
Friday: 3.30pm – 6pm
Saturday: 1pm – 4pm
Sunday: 12pm –2.30pm

This weekend is a deep exploration of all the elements that support healthy, spacious backbends:
• opening the chest
• shoulder work
• creating space in the hips
• building strong, supportive legs

The spine is carefully utilised, uplifted, and energised throughout the practice.

If you have attended in previous years, you’ll know how rich and detailed this weekend can be. If you’re new to the intensive, you are very welcome to join us.

Suitable for teachers, trainees and experienced students with no injuries .

There are 3 places remaining.

She has shared her stories, her history, and her thoughts of the future; all whilst giving us her close yoga teachings and insights.

We are very fortunate to have had this time with her. - and she loved being in Aotearoa /NZ 🙏
