About This Event

The Backbends Lab at Heather Yoga in Bradford focuses on the wheel pose, known as Urdhva Dhanurasana. The session includes backbend drills to help participants open their chest. Tickets cost £27.80.

Get ready to open up your chest and try the wheel pose with some fun backbend drills!

Let's do the Wheel (or give it a go!) in the Backbends Lab.

Whether you've never attempted Wheel or you're looking to go deeper, this workshop takes you on a progressive journey through the backbend family - building the strength, mobility, and confidence to get there safely and sustainably.

From Bridge to Wheel, we'll build systematically through backbend foundations, progressions, and beyond.

⭐ Expect:

Personalised guidance throughout

Targeted drills to unlock shoulder, thoracic, and hip flexor mobility

Strength and stability work for safe, expansive backbending

Step-by-step progressions through Bridge (Setu Bandha) and Camel (Ustrasana)

Progressions towards full Wheel (Urdhva Dhanurasana) for those ready to explore

Dropback drills for those wanting to go even further

Time to explore, practice, and ask questions

⭐ Style of practice

Vinyasa, strength work and mobility

⭐ Level & Suitability

This workshop is open to all levels, though some vinyasa or general yoga experience will help you get the most from the session. You do not need to already be able to do wheel to attend. Due to the nature of the practice, it may not be appropriate for those new to yoga during pregnancy.

⭐ Accessibility

There will be a mix of standing, kneeling, and backbending based shapes. Students should be comfortable with light lower-body weight bearing, backbending and moving on and off the floor.

£25 Full price
