Asanas (poses)
The principles of safe use described
above should be observed at all times.
A number of poses are illustrated here,
but experienced yoga practitioners
may find the Foldaway Backbbender
useful for other poses.
Backbending (spinal
extension) poses
Viparita Dandasana (supported
inverted staff pose) (Figure 12). Viparita
Dandasana (full shoulder extension,
grasping the bottom bar). This pose
may also be practiced using the big
backbender configuration especially
for taller people (Figure 19).
