Standing Backbend

Three to four breaths. Start by standing with your feet hips’ width apart.

Place your fists on either side of your lower back. Then look up at the ceiling, press your pelvis forward, and lean back.

See if you can open up your throat and let your head go back to where it feels extended but comfortable.

Find an edge there, which might be in either your neck or in your back.

If you can’t take a full, deep breath, it’s probably too much, so come up a little and take that full, deep breath.

Feel the expansion into your chest and notice the quality of the posture.

What’s happening now?

Sigh with your exhalation, then inhale as you slowly come back up.
