The Best Backbends for Beginners
Manage episode 376720127 series 1030755
Modern life is not great for your back -- sitting in chairs tightens the hip flexors, which can lead to a chain reaction that stresses the low back. When we type at a computer, we typically roll the shoulders forward or hunch the upper back. And looking at our phones constantly can lead to the dreaded and painful "tech neck." -- chair sitting, typing, and looking at our phones. Simple backbends are a fantastic antidote.
But which backbends are most beneficial for beginners and why? Jason shares his thoughts on this episode.
We talk about:
- Prone backbends like Locust Pose, Medium-Sized Cobra, and Sphinx
- Kneeling backbends like Cobra and New School Anjaneyasana
- Reclined backbends like Bridge Pose and Lying over a block
Learn the best approaches and modifications for these poses. And find lots of sequences to help you practice them by going to the shownotes page here: jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode310
