I personally LOVE backbends - the energy, the feeling of joy, the opening, the release. Yin has some great poses to help you develop and deepen your backbend practice or simply find more opening, space and comfort in your back.
In this practice we dive into opening the areas of the body most people feel constriction in deeper backbends - the front thighs (quads), back (upper and lower), shoulders and side body - to help you feel more space and allow for deeper bending and overall release. Enjoy!
