Backbend Yoga Poses: Ashtanga Dropbacks

[memphisgrownman]

WoW

[PawelPortal]

Great, that was what I was looking for - I started to work on drop back but haven't seen how to do it slowly, with no rush. Thanks for clip!

[OnlyNatural1000]

I`ve just reciently incorporated the Yoga Body Natural method into my yoga practice, I do Bikram Yoga and still do, but less of it and more Y B N to try and increase my flexibility.

I would encourage anyone to take up yoga, it will change your life.

[deanwhenshaw]

i'm 30 years of age, is it to late to train for this kind of flexiblity?

[nocomments2016]

Great but you missed the most important thing? this is extreme never go into this without warming up first and of course get comfortable with easier versions first also come out of it gently even if you are made of rubber you can become lazy with technique, It would take years of practice to do this level of bending some bodies may never be able to go this far. But go to where you can and get massive benfits, also do under qualified instruction first to get it correct and safe.

[Deposetheboyking]

I frequently hear class instructions of not to tip the head back until the sternum is facing up at the ceiling. Why is that? I am still not quite to the drop back, but working on the flexibility in my back and the confidence to hang there and balance. Thanks for the great video!

[sarahreded]

wow :)

[ThePlanetchild]

can you do a video with some more challenging stretches?

[dannie86l]

[maisqpoesia9999lcg]

amazing!!!!

[veixveiy2]

this is terrible for your pelvis poster, look at his lower back when he's standing normally. do not do shit like this.

[werkinwoman83]

OUTSTANDING!!!! I love to see a man this flexible....it shows strength but also that men can be graceful in a musculine way. i am in my 40's and would love to learn to do a back bend...i think starting from the bridge pose (i think that what it was on the floor) would be safer for me...plus this will help me towards my weight loss. keep up the good work!!! :)

[DazzleMe021]

it looks so weird because his arms are almost as long as his legs!

[OMGshNicholas]

jesus....

[kateji]

thank you so much, now I can do a bridge.

[villevn]

Thanks for sharing, really helpful!

[benpoopin]

your lower member looks absolutely tastey

[JUSTboop]

[thehapagirl92]

When I do that my wrists hurt!

[yogatuneupvideos]

amazing flexibility

[anirudhkrishnamani]

i can do a back bend but my head comes very close to the ground.. any tips?

[asdfchicka]

Im very flexible and can do a backbend the way you did the first time in the video, but I'm scared to do a real backbend like u did (standing up and then going down to the floor) I'm afraid I might break my back. Any tips?

[xlittlemissgymnastx]

@asdfchicka my daughter dosent go to gymnastics and she can go staright back its safe but do it on a mat dont do it on hard floor . oh. and get someone to hold your back just putting their hand their :) x

[mjufpn]

@zokirjan1 yourcomment

[BUNNYYEA]

@zokirjan1

You just described yourself...

[katiekween]

this is actually pretty easy. haha. iwas scared, cause of the comments. but it's pretty much just backbends. i tried it his way, not hard.

[MsShinde]

omg

[xNinaRibenax]

awesome XD ur so flexible! super flex rulers is as close as i get to that! haha and ur so skinny! lol

[SpankRamen2]

There was once a time when I could do a backbend with the greatest of ease. Now, I am sooo out of shape that I can't even push off the floor anymore. LOL I really need to practice this.

[hopesanddreams2895]

That was really easy

[clairetjie]

UNBELIEVEABLY GOOD

[oolala53]

That bend in his lower back is freaky. Iyengar has the same bend. He didn't push for it, though. He emphasizes extending the rib cage away from the pelvis as much as possible.

[n0Gain]

why do some ppl think back flexability is dangerous? Pussies or what..

[sneakyJR]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.­... yoga should be called gayga only chicks should do it cause thats cool... hella

[blackvelveteenn]

heyyyyy it just shows your lower culture

it's a shame!!! : (

[kaelinjohns]

umm hows guys doign yoga gay? it's for anyone! alot of guys do it who arn't gay.

how can yoga have a sexual orientation?

[2askaa]

his so good please teach me

[lubelenge]

I'm worried about the lower back, it might snap. The bend seems more on the base of the spine (coccyx) instead the middle... that's worrying. Be CAREFUL! you might injure yourself one day.

[Zadiel82]

is this healty?

[kemmei]

the guy is just bending his lower back , it's soo wrong. eventhough he is very flexible it's not correct i think.

[A1221249]

ur hot!! and im a self-taught yoga student and I can so do all of that; my backbends are amazing

[lethel4444]

So how long did it take for you to get to the point of a full back bend. mabye not eveyrone can do it - right. I'm flexible but not that flexible. How do you start?

[isalizard09]

[XXPrincessbicthXX]

[SNFAZD14]

[Aca13111990]

[bamb00sage]

Crap, how long did it take you to get that tight a bridge? And where did u start?

[blkmillineum]

Well what the hell...?

[oluare]

good video, but the aussie accent sucks

[jenkomagic]

your a wanker

[AnetteMartinsen]

Wow, fantastic! Anette

[loveyourposture]

totally awesome

[Ritter99]

you don't see a lot of people doing such a backbend in the streets nowadays. i would even say you see more people with such trunks than people doing such backbends.

[pe3czech]

I don't think that someone needs tutorial how to make so simply pose as this:-D :-D lol

[stretch4859]

CAn you do this, it mght be pretty simple, but you still need to be careful as you could injure yourself lowering yopurself to the floor like that.

[pe3czech]

my post - it was... how to say it in yout slang??... yeah i know it yet - it was pleasantry. So what about changing topic? Would you like to buy some sense of humour, wouldnt you?

[zarasophie]

haha

[zarasophie]

beautiful. great, clear instruction. thank you for your post.

[pinkbomb2k8x]

u look.... like a peice of bendy rubber!

i dont think its naturall for a guy 2 b dat flexibal.lol!

i tried goin back and...i sorta fell!

[ginnasticacaravaggio]

it's just a matter of training

[xd2010]

@pinkbomb2k8x why u don't think so? actually guys are more felexible than girls but they don't post movies about themselves because some stupid ppl may call them gays. So that most movies on youtube uploaded by girls which leads u to beleive that it isn't normal for guys.

[pinkbomb2k8x]

@xd2010 what i ment by its not natural, is i wouldnt think it would be natural because i have never seen a guy this flexible but obviously not, i look up to poeple that can do this ^^

[lucky14422]

@pinkbomb2k8x dude.........it's not "common" to be flexible like him when you're a guy, but women aren't naturally flexible or "bendy" like that either! Oh and by the way, I am a girl and was luckily born super bendy and ill post videos later but......okay bye!!

[djblackkid]

@pinkbomb2k8x lol i can do it, it's easy

[000Natasha000]

every time someone explained a backbend to me, they said not to push the hips foreward!

[lioness77777]

good tip

[grimmly2007]

Many thanks, managed to get my first drop back yesterday thanks to your video. Nice clear explanations and demonstration.

[ikaboo42157]

i tried this after i tried it last summer i stopped after that and now i'm not as flexible how do i get more flexible!

[SonjaBanton]

Awsome, ur really good. Watch my vid. too, I'm learning backbends and other gymnastics at home...

Cool! :D

[123kaitlyn456]

HOLY CRAP! I can friggin do that both ways! Oh my gosh, I can get back up with out even rocking, although I feel light headed after wards, I come up too fast.

[dna123nna]

can sum1 tell me hw can i make my back that much flexible

[smock19nathan]

i dont really think ur body is supposed to bend this way!

[czecka1]

i have a feeling this is not so good for the back...

[livozzz]

may be you do it in a bad way or you are to old

[zackdoesyoga]

I don't think this is really that difficult... not sure what all the fuss is about.

[live2dance19]

it isnt dificult. its quite easy but maybe because i was in gym and dance for many years nad had alot of training

[brunoyoga]

OUwou!! Nice strech!

But....how 30.000 people have been wacthed this video if it was added in 10 june...impressive!

[pro1rider]
