Backbends provide a great remedy for anyone who spends long hours in front of a computer and for anyone who sits at a desk. Sitting for extended periods of time has been linked to a host of health problems. Backbends lengthen the front of the body, an area that remains flexed and closed while sitting. Backbends are energizing and heating poses, so they’re good to practice as a morning wake up or a mid-day reset, but you may not want to practice this sequence before bed. The instructional format of this video offers you a class on backbending that you can follow while you watch. Poses included in this video include Cobra (bhujangasana), Locust (salabhasana), Bow (dhanurasana), Bridge (setu bhanda sarvangasana), Upward Facing Bow (urdhva dhanurasana), and Camel (ustrasana). Keywords: back bends, back pain, too much sitting. -NYV0095A
