Favorite posture these days to open up the shoulders and thoracic spine (up Favorite posture these days to open up the shoulders and thoracic spine (upper back). If you practice yoga and get lower back pain, it's because of compression in the lumbar spine (lower back) during backbends when the focus should be on creating space and length in the spine and the bend should be initiated from the upper back and shoulders. To start mobilizing and locating the body parts needed for a safe backbend, try this posture against a wall if you're not confident about falling out of it safely. Start with the fingertips very close to the wall, kick up, drop your butt to the wall puff the chest up and forward and optionally you can open the legs and bring them away from the wall but it's not necessary. Happy backbending yogis! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ #yoga #yogini #yogagirl #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeveryday #yogajourney #yogatips #yogaphotography #backbend #flexibility #strength #balance #focus #outdoors #naturelovers #hollowback #forearmstand #strongnotskinny #beirut #lebanon #whatsuplebanon #livelovelebanon #fitness #practiceyogachangeyourworld #onebreathatatime #lovepeacelight #om #namaste
