Back Strengthening Flow
Vinyasa Flow
•
23m
Often in yoga there is a focus on flexibility and stretching but it is equally important to keep the muscles strong and in good condition to support the joints and keep them stable. The Sun Salutations in this flow include Locust Pose (Salabhasana), an accessible low backbend which strengthens the entire back of the body from your neck all the way down through the back, buttocks, back of thighs, calves and ankles. Regular practice of this valuable backbend will be really helpful for preventative back care.
Props needed: A block, a blanket and a yoga belt.
Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.
