This vinyasa yoga practice explores how we create a backbend. We begin with some really basic actions of the shoulders and the arms and slowly learn how they create the mobility and stability required to perform deeper backbends. Along the way, the proper effort of the hips and the legs is added to the work of the arms, allowing the full length of the spine to feel long and supported as it extends.

It's useful but not necessary to have two yoga blocks and a strap for class. LMK if you have questions or if you get lost along the way!
