"My personal journey with the Lion sequences began eight years ago under the guidance of my teacher, Matthew Sweeney. These practices completely changed and deepened my backbends, helping me cultivate not just physical strength but emotional resilience. While challenging, the sequences are deeply supportive, offering safe and therapeutic ways to build stability and flexibility."
