Yoga Backbends Tips, Benefits & Poses

Useful Tips to Learn Yoga Backbends

When learning yoga backends, it is important to do everything within your personal limits, concerning the range of motion, strength, and flexibility. You may feel different emotions during practice, so make sure to be open and allow these feelings to arise. Try to open the chest and lengthen the spin to prevent compressing into the lower back. Another tip is to close a session with forward bends and gentle twists. After that, try neutral spine poses, such as knees-to-chest or reclined butterfly, to keep the spine straight and long. This helps ease tension and pressure in the spine and back. [4]
