This workshop is all about creating space in your backbends, building strength and openness within them, and aiming for stability and pain-free practice.

Here, Miles shares his knowledge accumulated from both his own exploration and research as well as that which he has learnt working with flexibility and contortion coaches. You will learn how to position and move your spine and the contributing joints correctly to enhance basic positions as well as work towards more advanced ones, the anatomy of backbends to which muscles need to be engaged and lengthened, and specific techniques and exercises to create and a support a backbend practice.

The workshop is catered to support a variety of levels except complete beginners. It is important to note that the ability to perform deep backbends is not a prerequisite, but we recommend having a comfortable wheel pose.
