From the time we are born, and even in our Mother’s womb, our body learns forward movements – think about the foetal system position.
Later we crawl, leaning forward and learning to stand, walk and sit. As we sit we continue in this forward bending position, and especially in the modern world as one uses the computer and phone more and more.
Due to our evolutionary journey, it’s no wonder back-bending doesn’t come naturally. Therefore it’s incredibly beneficial for us to strengthen our backs and to get length and extension to the front body.
Backbends lengthen our anterior spine, opening space in the entire front body, which then develops a much needed recalibration to our back body, the neck, back muscles, gluteus, hamstrings and calves. The adrenal glands become activated, creating a beautiful and energy throughout this practice.
Join us for backbends this week in class. Some supported, some with no props. Enjoy the challenge they bring, and the feeling of exhilaration after!
