About the course
Welcome to Awakening The Spine! This course invites an intelligent, step-by-step understanding of backbends and spinal extensions for an intermediate level of practitioner.
Each session is carefully structured to guide you gradually into a deeper, more refined experience of these movements. By helping the body engage the intrinsic muscles along the spine, the practice supports a balanced, spacious, and well-supported opening through the chest and heart.
In order for the heart to open, it has to feel safe. This is not the kind of safety that comes from outside of ourselves, but the kind of trust and safety in self and life that allows us to lean back and rest in the net of our own Being.

In order for the heart to open, it has to feel safe. This is not the kind of safety that comes from outside of ourselves, but the kind of trust and safety in self and life that allows us to lean back and rest in the net of our own Being.
The same can be said of backbending and heart opening postures. The support the heart requires to open is a deep connection, proprioception and activation of the backspace, that allows the front of the chest to be supported and propped up. From a place of stability and safe support, the protective mechanisms around the heart will soften and the thick fascia wrapping the organ of the heart will stretch and expand wide open.
We start with small actions and cultivating awareness at the micro-level, especially within the intrinsic muscles along the spine. Even when actions are very small they can be meaningful, and if they are meaningful they are actually very BIG.
