The Benefits of Backbends for The Everyday Individual

5/9/2016

Backbends are an essential part of any yoga practice, but backbends can be a bit intimidating. While there are certainly backbend poses that required superior balance and flexibility, as with all poses, there are many simple variations to conquer along the way. Even the most basic of backbends provide you with a multitude of benefits. 

Pain Relief
Backbends are an effective method of managing chronic neck and back pain. Many of us work in jobs that require us to sit or stand for long periods of time—often with poor posture. Backbends help to correct posture, and retrain muscles to return to their natural positioning.

Stress Relief
Our spine is essentially our lifeline. It connects directly to our nervous system, meaning that any time we can alleviate pressure on the spin—that we can calm and balance our entire body. Backbends also open up the front of our bodies, which often have minimal contrasting reverse movement otherwise.

Strengthens and Stretch
It is important to strengthen and stretch your body from head-to-toe, but the back is often in most forms of exercise. However, backbends directly target the back—and as an added bonus help to stretch and strengthen your internal organs too.
​
Start with simple backbends, and as your strength and flexibility improves—move on to more advanced poses.
