Not all back bends need to be extreme. If you’re looking for a less intense way to work into your back bends or is perfect for opening the chest and working into tight hip flexors.
I start my yoga session with sun salutations a.k.a which includes this asana. Repeating this posture helps to build strength and flexibility in the body.
Remember to keep the front knee stacked over the ankle, keep the hips facing forward and tuck the tailbone under to protect the lower back.
You can always pad out the back knee with a cushion. But if you magnetise the legs together and press the top of the back foot into the floor it takes pressure off the knee.
