Yogis - In part one of this video series we'll be exploring the dropbacks in the Ashtanga Yoga backbending sequence. Often seen as the gatekeeper for the intermediate series, this part of the sequence can be exceptionally challenging to learn, and involved a few movement patterns that go somewhat against the instincts of a new practitioner to this. Here, I'll identify just a few of those key areas so you can put your awareness into them as you practice towards more proficient drop backs. Always remember that the key to your progress here is sustainable (and sustained!) practice - my very good friend, Dylan Bernstein once said that in the Ashtanga practice, restraint is the crown jewel - perfect advice for any yoga practitioner learning how to move through this complex set of positions.
Anatomically, here we have the deepest form of spinal extension in the Ashtanga Primary Series. Dropping back & standing up also builds tremendous strength in both the physical body & the nervous system. Open shoulders & hip flexors will take you a long way, as they move pressure off the spine to do all the hard work, but learning how to use your back to "back bend" is the cornerstone here. In this video I'll touch on just a few of the many many cues that will help you with the journey.
