DAY 14 - DAY 6 of YJ Challenge - The area of concentration today was Backbends. Backbends are another very essential part of a yoga sequence. We spend so much of our day bending forward while maybe sitting at a desk, driving, or doing many other things. Our posture can certainly suffer! Although they are so important, many people shy away from them for fear of the unknown or possible pain. There is no reason to fear because even the most gentle of backbends can benefit you greatly.
The sequence today really built the heat and got my heart pumping! We went through some sun salutations at first and concentrated on the cobra pose to warm up. We also did several variations of Locust and Chair Pose. I felt a little sore from yesterday's vigorous sequence, so it made today's practice a little more challenging for me. Once I was finished, I felt energized, refreshed, and invigorated! Backbends not only help balance our posture but also open the chest and allow the circulation to flow to the heart and lungs.
