------------------------------------------------------
In this class, we will unpack the understanding required to move into backbends in an intelligent way, according to your body, and your body’s condition. Learn how to practice in a safe and balanced way that counteracts our usual habits and tendencies to move forward.
These actions will lengthen our anterior spine, opening space in the entire front body, which will then develop a much-needed recalibration to our back body, neck, back muscles, gluteus, hamstrings, and calves. The adrenal glands become activated, creating a beautiful energy throughout this practice.

by the way, your bhujangasana demo also works as a very good explanation of proper body positioning while paddling a surfboard!

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi Sparkle, yes correct, so many of the positions are good for surfers along with counter actions. Enjoy the practice while surfing! Where are you located? In Bali? 🙏🏻

[@anetazolza]

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi Sanyukta, All of us Iyengar teachers have been blessed to have the Iyengar family's inspiration to draw from and express to others for deeper understanding and sensitivity. Namaste

[@fabragg]

This is eye opening for me as I struggle with this. I like your slow and comprehensive approach. I look forward to following your other videos.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Dear Fabragg, Backbends can be complicated to access and get the correct actions. It helps to have a intellectual understanding as you bring the correct movement and direction to the body. Fantastic work! 🙏🏻

[@anigrosser9782]

This was a beautifully orchestrated and sensitive class, so smooth and clear. Even as a long time yoga student, I got so much out of it. Thank you.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Thanks Ani, when we approach with a beginner's mind there are so many possibilities that open up. Namaste, Kathy

[@ishapeu]

I find these beginning poses to be very challenging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi Jodi, take your time, there is no hurry. When we do what's appropriate for our individual body condition, everything goes better. Since you can watch over and over, may I suggest you practice some earlier classes to tone the body and mind to be prepared for backbending. Step by step starting with standing poses, forward bending and twists will better prepare you. Namaste

Swendra, unfortunately, that is not under my control. If you don’t need it, try switching it off after you have done it a few times. Happy practicing.
