Backbend

How to practice

Let your chest glide forward and lift just a little. Keep your elbows bent and your pelvis down. Let your hands stay light so your back creates the small lift.

Benefits

Strengthens the back muscles and gently stretches the front of the torso as the chest lifts.

Who should avoid or modify

  • Keep the lift low enough to avoid pinching the lower back. Do not push up with locked elbows; avoid lying on the abdomen during pregnancy.
