Backbends
Exercise 3
Lie on the floor and on
your side and use lower leg for stability on the floor. Reach back and
grasp the top foot as above or if possible as below with one hand and then
with both hands and to the 1-2-3-4-5 count pull the foot/leg in to bend
the back. Relax (you might have to let go of the foot) for a 5-10 count.
Turn over to the other side and repeat the exercise with the other foot.
Repeat the exercise until you have done it 15 times with each leg.
As your back gets more supple
you will get the head over the leg and the leg well over the shoulder as
above in the picture showing the leg and face positions.
After the exercise do a
frontbend exercise .
