A Yoga teacher training focussing on a multifaceted experiential and personal progression in Backbending postures and movements - layered with the philosophical and vibrational significance of the heart and spine from a yogic perspective.
A training for people looking to dedicate time and awareness around spinal movements and inner discoveries when moving through stagnated areas. You do not need to have extremely flexibility to join this training, all you need is curiosity and willingness to move your spine.
Physical backbending is about strengthening the whole backside body and opening of the frontside. Through the strength, backbending increases mobility in your spine, build flexibility over time, steadiness, power and movement intelligence.
Backbends stretches the entire front body, in particular areas where many experience more or less restriction, like guards, hip flexor area, abdomen, chest and shoulders. Especially opening the area around the chest can have many benefits for the heart and its beating mechanism and furthermore promote more elasticity in the lungs, so breathing is experienced with more ease and depth.
Though backbends in general has a more direct connection with igniting the sympathetic nerve system response, backbend-focussed practice also has an overall balancing effects for the nerve-system, creating overall balance for your wellbeing. As many modern living humans lives a life in a lot forward bending postures and activities, backbends help balance the entire body structure, as well as stretching around and making more space and ease internal systems to move and function to their best ability.

FACILITATOR
Laura (@laurajervidalo) has been practicing yoga her whole life, starting from her mother’s belly. She grew up in a yoga school in Copenhagen, where yoga was a natural and integrated part of everyday living. She began teaching out of a desire to serve her community and to share the knowledge she has discovered through her own journey.
In her physical teaching, Laura focuses on the relationship between strength and flexibility to bring balance to the body. Equally important to her is the incorporation of all eight limbs of Yoga, which she believes holistically support longevity in both outer and inner health. By balancing the physical body, she prepares students for stillness and silence, creating space for deeper discoveries in subtler realms - encouraging sensitivity and a heightened enjoyment of existence.
Laura hopes to guide her students toward a deeper understanding of their inner Self. She has completed advanced teacher training in Dharma Yoga, Rocket Vinyasa Yoga, and Backbending, accumulating over 1,000 hours of certified training.
