How to do:-
- Stand with feet width apart.
- Engage all of the muscles in your legs, focus on drawing your knee caps up.
- Keep your hands on the sides of your lower back.
- Inhale as you lift up through the crown of your head. All this while, ensure your core remains stable.
- Exhale and arch the spine back and go as far as it is comfortable for the body. You can also drop your head all the way back like Bedi shows.
- Remain in the posture for three-five breaths. Keep the abs engaged in the pose even as the spine strengthens.
As with any backbend, the most important part of practicing this pose is listening to your body and understanding its limits depending on the stage of practice that you are in. However, be careful performing a standing backbend if you have had any recent injuries to your neck or back.
