The action of arching the spine backward (Purva Pratana in Sanskrit) “stimulates the nervous system and enlivens a weary mind” according to BKS Iyengar. But, he goes on to say that “despite arousing the mind, backbends make it reflective rather than distracted and they banish fear and lend courage.”
✨
Backbends demand a fair amount of physical flexibility but strength is also needed to not overuse flexibility. In this class we will explore in greater detail the flexibility in the shoulders and hips and the strength in the legs, arms and back that are needed to do Urdhva Dhanurasana from the floor. Urdhva Dhanurasana or Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana are often done in regular classes with support of a chair. Various ways to build up to this invigorating pose will be explored as well. For those already practicing Urdhva Dhanurasana, and those working towards this asana, details to improve their poses will be given.
✨
PLEASE NOTE: Students attending the class online will benefit most by having ropes available.
