[@Zelzega]

Melissa made my day, I have so much trouble trying to pull my legs off the ground to do any kind of back bend, she’s relatable.

[@YOGAthletica]

Zelzega and she is awesome! 💕

[@prolificliving]

LOVED seeing you teaching in action. I learned so much watching this video. I can't ever see myself being as bendy as Ross but I've come such a long way with my backbends, Shana that perhaps I just don't know. I'm going to try these. THANK YOU as always!!! Keep shining your light!!!!

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks so much, farnoosh, as always! glad you enjoyed this. it's always fun to film with friends. :) if you want more class-y teach-y stuff, you may want to check out my channel of full-length classes at vimeo.com/ondemand/yogathletica then, the person i teach will be you. :) as to ross...i can't imagine i would ever have that flexibility either! in a million lifetimes! but that's the journey, right?

[@prolificliving]

Oh you have vimeo classes too? That's fantastic to know. :) As you know my main journey is Ashtanga and it is going really well but once a week or so, I have playtime :) I will totally check them out Shana. :) We all have our own journeys and our own backbends :)!

[@Jharrison6014]

Ok, first of all I SUBSCRIBED... 2nd, I've had a Yoga wheel since late 2018 and just now found this awesome maneuver! I can't wait to try this out. I used to kinda pull ONE leg over to touch my head from above, but I never could pull BOTH my legs over. Exciting stuff :D

[@YOGAthletica]

@@Jharrison6014 thanks for subscribing and I am excited for you! Let me know how it goes! :)

[@WhatSoEverThingsAreLovely]

Thank you so much! I'm loving my new 'find' in the yoga wheel!! The wheel really is THE greatest invention. X

[@lauraminer9497]

Wow I absolutely loved this video!! I've been doing yoga for a little over a year now and I'm getting into more advanced poses and this Christmas I got a yoga wheel and wanted to learn more about how to do poses with it and learn more about it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. I appreciate your hard work and everything you do!! I'm new to your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 😄

[@YOGAthletica]

LIL Laura thanks, Laura! Awesome that you are advancing in your practice and using your props. Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@YOGAthletica]

you're welcome. glad you like it!

[@smilingpisces1]

Hilarious I'd love to go to one of your classes I bet they are super fun :)

[@YOGAthletica]

we have a terrific time! are you in la? if not, i also do classes via skype. :)

[@vaishaliPC]

dear shana, the video s good but I hv 2 querries. firstly, while performing the first pose, is there a possibility that the round wheel prop will move resulting in the practitioner falling on face? 2ndly, wud she have pain or damage on her lumber region?? thnx. vaishali. pune. India.

[@YOGAthletica]

hi vaishali, i totally had the same concern, but i have experimented a lot with the wheel and it has not slipped out once. it has rubber traction on the outside of it, so as long as it's on a yoga mat, i think it is very unlikely to slip. and, i always encourage everyone to maintain length in the tailbone while backbending, in order to avoid hurting the lumbar spine. she is a very smart practitioner and knows how to keep her back safe. that is another great question! when you use the wheel, you can move it forward or back to find the distance that works for your particular body. if you ever feel any pain, it's always a good idea to come out of the pose. it sounds like you are smart and mindful about your practice and know how to keep yourself safe. :) shana

[@claudiamueller5363]

Wow!

[@YOGAthletica]

:D

[@vanshajarora5136]

How many times a week you need to practice backbends? Anyone?

[@YOGAthletica]

I practice every day. But it really depends on your goals. Backbends are the backbone of yoga asana practice. If you are serious about your yoga practice, backbends should be a very significant part of every practice you do. You need to decide how often you wish to practice to stay healthy in mind, body and spirit. 🙏

[@aartisehgal2709]

those subtitles are very irritable when they are appearing right across the guyswho are demonstrating. its very unclear. having to pay too much attention. please fix it

[@YOGAthletica]

aarti sehgal you can turn the subtitles on or off. I don’t put them there, it is an option you choose on your KZbin settings. Hope that helps!
