Thank you for the explanation. I feel compression too when I go into urdhva dhanurasana so instead of force myself deeper in the pose I listen to my body and just do as deep as my body can take it. Recently I am more awared of my front hips and always remember stretching that area when I am in urdhva dhanurasana. It create more length and allow me to bend more.

I've been forcing my backbends pretty rigorously a few years ago and now I have an almost constant pain/tension in my lower back. Do you ladies have any advice on what to do in this case?

[@zhertayron]

I've no idea ..maybe see doc it's the best way ..or wear korset premium back support ??
