This class centers on stamina, subtlety, and bringing all your backbending work into a focused, rhythmic flow. We begin with timed holds in Urdhva Dhanurasana, using feet and hands on blocks, then moving into full backbends without props, incorporating heel lifts and hand-walking to refine depth and control. Drop Backs follow in three speeds—slow, medium, and fast—developing adaptability and rhythm. Tic Tacs from Handstand build skill progressively: jumping to pads, crouching without jumping, and completing the full arc over and back. Wall work explores precision and alignment using compass point awareness. We end with a Final Backbend on pads, hooking the fingers and holding steady—sealing the course with strength, grace, and grounded clarity.
