Yoga X Spiraldynamik – Breathe Your Heart Open – Backbends

The basis of every lesson is the breath. For a liberated breath, an upright posture is needed that arises playfully.

At the start of each session, the focus is on breathing and mobilising the sternum and ribs. Through targeted exercises, preparation is made for Yoga backbends such as Salabhasana, Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana, Urdhva Dhanurasana, and Ustrasana (Locust, Cobra, Bow, Bridge, and Camel). To prevent injuries, core strengthening is also practised, and the spine is prepared with three-dimensional twisting postures.

In addition to active practice, the workshop will be accompanied by anatomical explorations and short improvisations. The course playfully combines elements from Iyengar Yoga (targeted use of props) and Ashtanga Yoga (flow of movement supported by deep breathing) with Spiraldynamik®.

Spiraldynamik® is a three-dimensional, anatomically and functionally based movement and therapy concept. It offers a learnable instruction manual for the human body from head to toe. The aim of Spiraldynamik® is to move in an anatomically healthy way in everyday life in order to specifically avoid incorrect strain, pain and wear and tear.
