A playful yet technical class that breaks down the art of extension from Shalabhasana to Kapotasana. We begin by studying neutral pelvis and spine, learning to distinguish forward, backward, and neutral tilts in Downward Dog, Plank, and all fours. From there, we explore how arms and legs root to free the spine for backbending. Using Bridge and Setu Bandhāsana variations, we strengthen legs as “holy cement,” fixing them so the spine can safely coil upward. Props (blocks, wall, chair, “T” station) help students progress through Shalabhāsana, Supta Vīrāsana, Dhanurāsana, Ustrāsana, and dropback preparations. We emphasize slow, repeatable steps: stabilizing thighs, lifting chest first, and separating spinal action from leg stability. The practice blends meditation with strength—teaching that mastery means enjoying every step, not just reaching the “hardest” version.
