Backbends are emotional. They require us to unite our strength and our flexibility.
They are the personification of defiance. Working and flowing against gravity and with our spirit.
The synchronization of spirit and strength.

We rise.
We breathe.
We continue.
Together.
“We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
