About the event
Our next suspension workshop will focus on backbends!
There are many ways to explore back bends, otherwise known as Gyaku Ebi. We will start with the concepts, with practical advice on how to better support the bottom when being tied in this intense shape.
We will cover three variations of backbends and how to tie them, exploring different constructions, different orientations and the challenges with each type.
