Hi
I have just read page 33 of yoga magazine issue 76
trying to figure out what you are saying here (sorry being a bit dim)
it's with reference to the back bend and noting the angle of the ribcage. I can't picture
it have you got a picture of it being done wrongly and a picture of it being performed correctly?
best regards

Here is a good backbend. Notice how the she bends backwards almost exclusively at L5-S1. Higher in the lumbar area you see a small amount of curvature spread evenly over the entire spine.

Here is a poor backbend. L5-S1 is pretty stiff and she cannot bend backward very much there. Instead, she compensates by bending backward up higher aroujnd L1?L2?

What she needs to do is bend backward only a little bit at the right place (L5-S1) and restrict bending backward up higher by using the rib anchor muscles (mainly the internal obliques).

Hi,
The photos are missing. Is it possible to upload them again? Or is there some other article dealing with this interesting topic?
