Aaaalright yogis! Back from a break from KZfaq, today we're taking a look at the peak of the intermediate series backbends and how you can use conscious awareness of the traditional vinyasa count to identify opportunities to release and stabilise the lumbar spine as you move through Ustrasana (Camel pose), Laghu Vajrasana (The little thunderbolt) and Kapotasana (Pigeon pose). The techniques described in this video can have a profound effect with correct implementation over your long term practice by creating the necessary muscular activation and grounding of the energetic systems to bring a state of balance to what can otherwise be a very intense section of the Ashtanga yoga practice.

Another important video. I’m grateful that my teacher has been placing emphasis on “rounding the spine and lifting the knees” upon exiting …. Buuuuut it’s easier said than done.

This is pretty interesting view on Kapotasana as you give us the tips how we appreciate this challenging movement into well-rounded one for our spine👍 I haven't tried the whole K. sequence yet but I will definitely go for entering/exit positions to make mine more substantial even though I'm not there of lolasana position. Thank you!

I like your video, but the sub at the bottom is really blocking the visibility.

This transition is impossible to me. It’s almost a handstand! Is there something easier to do for this transition?

Focus on the fundamental movements of the spine. Take the time to release the lower back when you come up, then support the lift up by giving a little hop with the feet & pulling the knees into your chest. Lean forward to control the jump back - no stress if it’s not perfect right away.
