Art of Back Bends

Ramanand will share methods of using props to help students work with different challenges in the correct approach to backbends. Back bends are some of the most exhilarating of yoga postures. They can also be the most demanding. Progressive ways of working, with and without props, along with physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of the back bends will be explored. 

For more information, refer to Ramanand's description of his general approach in yoga classes and workshops.

Hours: Friday 6:00-8:30 p.m.; Saturday 10:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.; Sunday 10:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.
There will be short lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday. Bring a light snack each day.  Bottled water, herbal tea, juices and snacks are available at the studio.

Location: All events are at the Holiday Manor Studio, 2226 Holiday Manor Center. Regular classes will not be held during the workshop. 

Ramanand Patel is regarded as a leading yoga instructor for students and teachers around the world. When he was twelve his father initiated him into yoga practice and philosophy. After meeting a few other teachers, he started more serious study under Guruji (Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar) in 1968. Since 1984 he has studied Vedanta philosophy under H.H. Swami Dayananda Saraswati. He has also learned from sharing his knowledge with a vast number of students and teachers since 1964.

He has a special interest in the effects of Sound on yoga practice and offers a number of workshops in this subject with his friend and a world class musician in the North Indian classical style, Pandit Mukesh Desai.

Ramanand is respected as an innovator in the use of props and working with students who have special needs.
