For some reason,...Hi JS - I just saw this comment. For some reason, comments are not making it to my email inbox. Must check out why that is happening.<BR/><BR/>It is a bizarre feeling, but it also kind of makes sense to me to be able to touch my toes. Gripping heels or ankles is a whole nother story though. But touching the toes seems to me to be easier than standing up from a backbend. I don't think your back has to be as bendy, but you do have to be able to articulate your shoulders in a certain way. Same kind of articulation is when doing Natarajasana - the FULL version, or Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana, where you take your foot from above.<BR/><BR/>Backbending makes me babble. No nausea. Just babble.Yoga Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370141306007721604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-12616020393954721952008-04-11T03:28:00.000-04:002008-04-11T03:28:00.000-04:00That has got to be just such a freaky-amazing feel...That has got to be just such a freaky-amazing feeling! I can't imagine it... I'm such a lazy, crappy backbender. Well, I'm only making it to the studio 3 times a week with my current work schedule, and I don't practice at home, and I don't do any R&D, either. I guess I'm going to have to get serious if I ever want it to happen for me...<BR/><BR/>And I do, I do!<BR/><BR/>PS- Do you ever feel sick after backbending? My teacher was assisting me with dropbacks and standups the other week and after 3 of them I was ready to puke. The room was spinning. He pushed me forward into a deep paschimottanasana and I said "je crois que je vais vomir, j'ai la tĂȘte qui tourne". All he said was "C'est normal."ashtanga en cevenneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979153677859447117noreply@blogger.com
