Yoga Backbend Video: Dropbacks
Dear Yoga Students,
I get a lot of questions from people asking
how to do backbend dropbacks where you
go from bridge pose to standing, and then
back down… again and again.
Dropbacks are not really that difficult, but
it can be scary when you’re learning. In this
video above, I give some basic instructions
on how to practice.
Things to remember:
1. Don’t be in a hurry to get to the floor
2. Lower body strong, upper body soft
3. Hang as long as you can
4. If the floor is too far away, drop back
to the wall (or a bed) at first to practice
Ok, that’s all for now! Don’t forget to practice
the back-opening series of poses in the YOGABODY
Handbook as preparation for deeper backbends
like this.
Stay bendy,
Lucas

p.s. Note from a YOGABODY student:
“I tried your YOGABODY Stretch for 3 weeks and gradually
feel the effects - recovery time from almost 1 week to 2
days, and some asanas like headstand I pick up more easily
and stable than before.” (Whimy, Hong Kong)

Love the video, have not long received the yogabody capsules so will let you know,
so far no allergic reaction though and that was my main concern with some of the ingredients. Being a hayfever/sinus sufferer the wheatgrass can be a problem so will
persevere and keep checking the stretching.
