Back Body Mobility & Circulation–Iyengar Yoga

This class focuses on twisting and forward extensions to improve back-body awareness. By shifting the emphasis to our back and spinal column, which are often overlooked, we naturally lengthen and extend our front body. Otherwise, our abdomen and other front organs become congested.

Creating space allows us to decompress the front while twisting promotes better circulation of blood flow and oxygen. This, in turn, enhances muscle and cell health and restores balance. Enjoy a deeper and more relaxed breath while calming your thoughts and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
