Your instructor: David Keil
Before you've experienced your first drop-back they seem impossible. There is a lot going on in a short amount of time. Dropping back can bring up fear. Standing up provides its own technical challenges. However, when you get it right, they can be incredibly powerful and inspiring.
Like any other posture, there are techniques that you can apply that can help you move forward in this complicated set of movements. Some are big changes and sometimes they are subtle changes that make a big difference.
In this workshop, I pack in the last 20 years of working with students in drop-backs. I will clearly point out what the most common mistakes are as well as the most common solutions for those mistakes. You may be surprised to find that some of the most popular instructions may be working against you.
David Keil has taught anatomy in yoga teacher trainings since 1998.
More to the point: he practices. The anatomy in his courses lives on the mat, not in a lab.
