Explore the actions needed for safe, easeful backbends with Nadja. We will open the shoulder joints, lengthen the sides and elongate the hip flexors to prepare the body to arch backwards. We will focus on these actions and practice Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I), Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog) and Ustrasana (Camel pose).
