Advanced Backbend Valakhilyasana with Heather Morton

[KinoYoga]

You're awesome!

As you increase the flexibility of your low back this will create flexibility in the upper region. Many times we think of having the former first. That said, however, there are exercises to improve neck mobility. Many of these relate to the shoulders, mid-spine as well as the upper arms.

A lot tension is stored in the neck but it is coming from the shoulders, arms and hips. Check out my website (re: the yoga way) for the CD: Stilling the Mind. There are exercises for the neck and shoulders.

@TheYogaWay I will post soon a video on exercises for the neck, shoulders, etc. Because one central thing left out from many physiotherapy exercises is the BREATH! Still, the CD program will help as well.

Thanks for your post. Always good to hear from someone searching for ideas or ways to improve themselves.

Excellent video to improve flexibility. Do you have any neck exercise to improve flexibility? seating in computer create lots of neck stress. Helpful is you post neck roll exercise.

Maybe I can understand what rolandsc means by the oxymoron.......

I am very happy with this wonderful video.

You demonstrate an excellent backward flexibility of the backbone, not only in the lower (lumbar) part but also in the upper (thoracic) part.

Hi, Thanks for your comment and view. RE: "wonderful tight back bend" That's sort of an oxymoron.

Namaste
