RE: ashtanga yoga Sore Back after practice

[Guest guest]

If urdhva dhanurasana counter poses the forward bends in the first

series, what purpose does it serve when you do the second or third

series? Or when you reach that ability level, do you simply do it out of

the love of doing it? J

ashtanga yoga Sore Back after practice

 

 

 

Paul:

 

Are you doing all of the finishing postures after your practice? And,

specifically, are you doing urdhva dhanurasana (wheel)? I don't know how

much of the

series you're doing, but as you know the primary series consists of LOTS

of

forward bends. Urdhva dhanurasana is an important counter pose to all

those

forward bends. (Purvatanasana, which comes earlier in the series, may

also count

as a mild backbend. I'm not sure. Someone else might want to clarify

whether it

counts as a mild backbend.) But either way, make sure you incorporate

three

backbends into your closing sequence. It is possible your back is

feeling a bit

strained from all the forward bending if you aren't giving it a good

counter

stretch.
