A backbending masterclass Anahata Chakra is where we cultivate feelings of compassion towards others. It?s also where we hold feelings towards those who have hurt us, whom we continue to carry in our hearts until we are ready to forgive them. The practice of devotional backbends opens up the heart chakra and helps to release those emotions and heal feelings of hurt from our past so we can move into the future with grace understanding and unconditional love. On a physical level backbends stimulate the central nervous system, boost immune system, realign and increase mobility in the spinal column, open the hips, strengthen and stretch the legs. Other benefits include increasing the flow of blood, massaging the vital organs and glands as well as loosening the joints. They also boost energy levels and relieve tensions stored in the muscles.

Twisting and rotating the spine requires great flexibility. Parivritta - The sanskrit term that refers to rotation in an asana, literally means to move around the central axis. The word sukham or joyful in sanskrit can also be translated as good axel hole. Which suggest we need a strong centre in which to rotate and twist from so that everything is spinning from a good, steady and easeful place. Besides restoring your spine?s natural range of motion, the parivritta action opens the nadis (energy channels), deeply cleanses the organs and stimulates circulation bringing rejuvenation, clarity and balance into the body and the manipura chakra, the fire element or the fire in the belly, helping to untwist the ego and mind. When you are in need of re-energizing, twists are perfect to fan the flames of your inner fire and restore vitality helping to lift energy upwards and onwards. Enjoy this intense twisting class looking at deepening the body?s twisting motion and delving into an understanding of the chakra system.
