Open Your Heart: Backbends - Preview

Avatar of Dice Iida-Klein
Level 2-3 - 60 mins

This practice is all about backbends! Navigate through surya namaskar C variations with inversions like pincha mayurasana (forearm balance). Weave in backbends like salabhasana (locust), danurasana (bow), ustrasana (camel), setu bandha sarvangasana (bridge) and urdhva danurasana (upward bow). Discover eka pada rajakapotasana 1 (king pigeon) with a strap as your peak pose. Counter all of this heart opening with a few forward folds and twists. Props Needed: Two blocks and a strap.
