Unravel Your Upward Facing Dog-Non JOY Member
with Jaimie Cutts

Your approach to upward facing dog can propel you into a more powerful and free feeling yoga practice.  This backbend is a cornerstone between strength, flexibility, and grounding.  In our daily lives we tend to let go in the back of our bodies which leads to longer ‘slack’ muscles.  Backbends bring strength to the back and give the front the opportunity to open up.  Cobra and locust poses are the building blocks of our upward facing dog.  Work through preparational foundations that will build strength over time and bring awareness to the sensory feedback from the back of your body.  Learn to listen within and make subtle adjustments to your placement and muscle activation that protect your low back, wrists, and neck in upward facing dog. This group of poses have the ability to be transformative postures within your practice.  Give yourself the chance to fully tune in and feel the empowering reach of your upward facing dog.
