Backbends and Heart Openers for Balanced Power

Child’s Pose: Soften and Refill
Knees wide or together, arms extended or by your sides—choose comfort that lets your back broaden with every exhale. This gentle fold hydrates fascia, calms the mind, and prepares hips for tomorrow’s work. Add two minutes after practice and tell us how your breath changed.
Supine Twist: Melt the Edges
Draw knees to chest, drop them to one side, and reach the opposite arm long. Keep both shoulders heavy as you breathe into side ribs. Twists release residual tension around the spine and hips, sustaining flexible strength. Comment whether you prefer dynamic pulses or a longer, soothing hold.
Legs Up the Wall: Quiet Power
