If backbends are not your friend, give them another chance with more support! There is no reason for backbends to hurt when you get the right support and have a clear understanding of how to care for your low back. (read: core support!) We take it really slowly to open the front body and stabilize the core. Then we move into a sphinx pose that feels delightful, with the pelvis over a bolster and a blanket under the knees, creating a sense of lightness and freedom in the chest. This feels fun and free for students of any ability!
