Nothing as revitalizing as backbends. We use two blocks in this practice to help open the chest through the whole class. Together we find variations that feel comfortable when the stretch gets too intense.
We start lying on our back to find the breath and some stillness, eyes closed, as we go deeper into our backbends. Then we move into Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose), and on to Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel) if you want to challenge yourself.
