Yoga students only. FREE YOGA DROPBACK VIDEOYoga backbends are one of the most fun and challenging of practices because they involve making the front of our body extremely vulnerable. Genetically, we're hard-wired to guard our chest and protect our heart center; so in some ways, backbends are going against nature—but in a good way. DROPBACK BASICSBefore you can do a yoga dropback, it's essential that you are able to practice full wheel pose with straight arms comfortably for at least 30 breaths. Also called Urdva Dhanurasana, full wheel pose builds the foundation for this more advanced variation. HOW FLEXIBLE DOES MY BACK NEED TO BE? http://www.yogabodynaturals.co... know many guys who are very stiff in their backs who can still do really nice, clean dropbacks. As mentioned, you must be competent at Urdva Danurasana (wheel pose), but after that, it's mostly strength and balance. As in most backbending poses, the focus is on a strong and stable lower body and a loose and soft upper body. The further back you go, the more your body will instinctively close off your heart center, so you have to consciously tell yourself: "legs strong, heart open." ROCKING BACK AND FORTHWhen you first begin learning dropbacks, it's a good idea to practice the rocking technique. This is accomplished simply by "rocking" the weight primarily into your feet, then your hands, then back to your feet again. On one of the rocks, when the weight is on your feet, the next step is to gently push off with your fingertips. GRAVITY POSES & FLEXIBILITYWhen I was first learning this posture, practicing Gravity Poses (and eating the right foods) made huge difference. I have a free, 7-day course that explain how it works.

CAn you do this, it mght be pretty simple, but you still need to be careful as you could injure yourself lowering yopurself to the floor like that.

you don't see a lot of people doing such a backbend in the streets nowadays. i would even say you see more people with such trunks than people doing such backbends.
