From Backbends
to Backward Extensions
Backbends – or more accurately, backward extensions – are powerful asanas that not only mobilize the spine but also stimulate emotional and energetic processes. They open the chest, strengthen the back, and promote an upright posture. However, as with any yoga practice, it is essential to perform them consciously and with anatomical precision to prevent pain or even injury.
Positive Effects of Properly Executed Backward Extensions
Opening the Heart & Deepening the Breath
-
Increase lung capacity by expanding the chest.
-
Promote deeper, more conscious breathing.
-
Can help release emotional blockages and create a sense of openness & trust.
Strengthening the Spine & Back Muscles
-
Strengthen the entire posterior muscle chain (back, gluteus, shoulders).
-
Encourage better posture, especially for those with a rounded back or a sedentary lifestyle.
-
Enhance spinal flexibility when performed correctly.
Energy & Alertness
-
Stimulate the nervous system (sympathetic nervous system) and counteract fatigue and sluggishness (Tamas).
-
Activate all six main chakras, particularly the Manipura Chakra and the Anahata Chakra (Heart Chakra) – which boosts self-confidence and fosters emotional openness.
Emotional Impact
-
Backward extensions can release deeply stored emotions, especially those related to protective mechanisms or suppressed feelings.
-
They help cultivate a positive outlook on life and strengthen self-trust.
Leave behind your worries and embrace renewal like spring, which brings everything into bloom. Through properly learned backward extensions, you will discover how to open your heart with greater ease, allowing you to meet the world and those around you with deeper trust, emotional stability, and serenity.
If you want to move through life with more openness, freedom and joy, treat yourself to this 5-hour workshop led by one of the world’s most competent yoga teachers, with over 43 years of experience.
