WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
Friday October 2nd - Vertica (Henderson) Studio 1
11:00am Nia - Contortion (All Levels)
This class will break down how to stretch and mobilize different regions of your back so that you may utilize a more balanced and full range of motion in your backbends. We will discuss how backbends are frontal stretches - that is we should feel the stretch along the front of our body rather than pinching or compressive sensations in the back. Especially hard to unlock is the upper back range of motion, this often leads to overstraining the lower back to achieve deeper bends. We will focus on well-rounded back mobility and exercises to achieve this.
12:00pm Veronika - Flexy Pole (Int-Adv)
A workshop focused on advanced range-of-motion skills. Dive into deep backbends, foot-over-head shapes, and oversplit variations, all seamlessly integrated into dynamic pole combos.
