Backbends can be powerful postures upon a physical level, but, as we're more familiar with the front of our bodies and what we can see, to move where we cannot see can be a journey into the unknown. This affects us physically, psychologically and emotionally. Beginning the practice gently with spinal articulations, the practice evolves with back bending chest opening postures such as Camel posture, Half Moon lunge and a variation on Supta Virasana. The practice is completed with a short relaxation.
