In springtime everythings awakes from winter sleep. We want to awake our body and mind with backward bends! Backward bends stretch your front and squeeze your backside. In comparison to the forward bends, backwards bends are activating and furthermore widen the chest and the heart region. Further you clear and release your mind. You might also deal with emotions coming up in an intensive backward bend practise.
After every backward bend your body longs for a counter pose giving space to your vertebras and spinal discs and protecting yourself from pouring out too much. In Yoga we always want to hold the balance. Ideally you can try the forward bends I already posted in March as an inspiration (you will find all posts on Facebook). Balancing out the Yin and the Yang within your daily life practice!
