Backbend workshop begins this Saturday @horizonhotyoga See the link in my bio for all the details. DM with any questions. Backbends are meant to be this heart opening beautiful experience that we can gift to ourselves if we know how to. Unless you are gifted with natural flexibility in your spine & shoulders you might be rolling your eyes. 🙄 I can tell you from someone who was never naturally flexible with my back, I didn’t just pick up yoga & discover I was good at back bending. For several years actually it never really felt great, I could never go too deep, & when I pushed end range flexibility I didn’t understand why it was so uncomfortable or even sometimes painful. I just thought this was normal. This is not normal. Again, feeling extreme discomfort or pain in back bending is not normal & it doesn’t need to be this way. I can tell you, there is a very real process to “conscious back bending” as I call it. The evolutionary process didn’t happen immediately but over a few short months & an even extended time. I could feel the difference between what was happening before & what I was doing in my own personal training. Back bending is meant to feel good & strong. It’s meant to make you feel alive & open. Let me share with you what has been so incredibly effective for me. . . . . . . . . . . #bendy #bendyback #flexible #heartopener #yogapose #yogasana #asana #yogadudes #stretchyourself #bendbutdontbreak #kingdancer #bowpose #kingpigeon
