More backbends this week. This week, prone backbends. I’m not sure if students dislike these backbends more or less than last week’s backbends. Even so, people leave class happy. That’s what happens when the chest gets opened!

Block in the back, once vertical, once horizontal. Repeat the actions of collar bones/tips of the shoulder blades
