Laura Jervidalo Ravn
I started to teach because I want to serve my community and share the knowledge discovered in my own journey. In the physical aspect I focus on the relationship between strength and flexibility to balance the body, but just as importantly how overall through incorporating all eight-limbs of Yoga it holistically support longevity in outer and inner health. Balancing the physical, sets the body for stillness, silence and creates the preparation for deeper discoveries in more subtle parts, encouraging sensitivity and heightened enjoyment of existence. I hope to help my students to a deeper understanding of their inner Self.
Description
In this class we will focus on backbending exercises and postures. Building flexibility with strength and steadiness.
Backbending increases mobility in your spine and has balancing effects for the nervesystem and your entire wellbeing.
Backbending is known to reverse aging signs of the body by strengthening the backside body which can weaken with age and/or forwardbending lifestyle.

On an energetic level the heart is the centre of love and compassion and the throat is the centre of expression and speaking truth. Opening these areas requires courage and vulnerability. Not only is it important to practice with compassion, but you will also develope this quality through the practice. Gradually as the heart and throat centres opens it can be extremely freeing/liberating.
