Why This Course?
Backbends are much more than just flexibility. They require strength, control, and proper technique to access depth without pain.
During this four-week workshop series, we’ll break down backbending in a way that makes them feel more accessible, balanced, and safe.
The Into The Depths Backbends series is designed for practitioners who want to refine their backbends, develop confidence in deeper postures, and move past both mental and physical plateaus.
Bonus: You’ll also have the opportunity to receive direct feedback from me on your practice whether you do it live or watch the recordings.
Are These Thoughts Holding You Back?
-
“My lower back always hurts in backbends.”
Backbends shouldn’t feel like compression or painful in your low back. In these workshops, you’ll learn how to distribute the movement evenly, so you’re not just bending, but also lengthening. I’ll also break down how to correctly engage your legs, core, and upper back to support and sustain a pain-free backbend practice.
-
“I just don’t have the flexibility for deep backbends.”
You don’t need to be naturally flexible to develop strong, comfortable backbends. This series will teach you the mechanics of opening up your body in a way that is accessible, sustainable, and tailored to where you are now.
-
“I feel stuck or like my backbends never get better”
Many practitioners hit a wall with backbends. Whether it's tight shoulders, restricted hip flexors, or a fear of going deeper. These workshops will give you progressive techniques to move past those ‘stuck points’ while keeping your practice safe and balanced.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Week 1: Foundations of Backbending
A strong backbend starts with the right foundations. We’ll establish key movement patterns to ensure your backbends feel powerful and sustainable from the start.
Week 2: Opening the Front Body for Backbends
True depth in backbending comes from the ability to open the front body. This week, we’ll focus on the psoas, hip flexors, and chest to create more ease and expansion.
Week 3: Overcoming Fear and Stagnation
Fear and hesitation can limit backbending progress. This session will guide you through safe, progressive approaches to build trust and confidence in deeper backbends.
Week 4: Deepening Backbends Safely
Going deeper should feel empowering, not risky. This final week refines your technique, helping you progress while avoiding common pitfalls.

"Kat has an excellent way of conveying information. She is really skilled at breaking complex movements down into more approachable or bite-size morsels that make sense to students of all different levels and abilities. When someone struggles with something, whether it’s a physical or mental block, Kat meets the person where they’re at. She will come up with a targeted and individualized approach to help someone challenge themselves and find their edge. She works with who’s in front of her rather than trying to fit everyone into the same mold. "
