This class is a Hatha-inspired class combined with the work of the BackMitra which aids in releasing tension in your neck, shoulders, upper to mid-back, and lower spine.

The BackMitra is a soft but firm, supportive foam tool that when laying on top of it exerts pressure along the spinal column that provides a soft decompression for the intervertebral discs.

The idea behind the BackMitra has its origins in India where yoga teachers began to use different tools to create space in their students’ upper back and shoulder area.

Some key benefits of the BackMitra:
• Improved alignment • Relief from headaches • Fuller range of movement in your hips • Expanded breath capacity • Relaxation of spinal muscles • Improved function of rotator cuff • Mobilization of spinal joints • Restoring mobility in the neck, shoulders, and back.  Suitable for all levels.
