Beginner Yoga Backbend Practice with Kino 

God bless 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

It is tough, mostly because it's not for beginners. Backbend is very challenging, and usually we have stiff muscles in this area. Trying this deep and advanced stretches you will struggle for sure. I prefer to give adaptations to slowly step by step go for deeper stretch is your body is really ready.

Yep. But if you're starting, you don't need to do super deep stretch. You can follow along with that but stop where your body can endure. It is not easy, but if you won't try and do what you can at the moment, you'll never progress. There is really no super easy stretch for a beginner.

KY precisely :)

You can do it ! I'm a beginner however be gentle with yourself do it everyday your body will pick the vibration .

It's not hard for a begginer

That's awesome!! Keep practicing :)

Running for beginners! "So you're new to running? Today we'll be doing a marathon. *Remember, it's important to respect your body and its limits... Now, marathon time! Look at me go for 26 miles!" Seems to me you wouldn't need a few paragraphs of logic gymnastics to inspire people (i.e., clarify why they shouldn't give up right away) if you hadn't discouraged them in the first place by labeling advanced maneuvers as for "beginners." This is Kino's whole thing. She does it on many videos. Labels it as for beginners, does advanced moves, and just pretends everyone should be able to do that. Her pigeon pose video is a perfect example. After watching and determining I was utterly hopeless, I literally had given up on yoga. I only tried again when I came across someone else, who was not misleading and discouraging. The average person might not be able to tell what's for beginners and what's not. I couldn't, at first, which is why it seemed I needed to quit since I couldn't even come close to the "beginner" moves. I literally couldn't even get into the pre-stretch starting position of the "beginner" moves. But I'm a novice. Someone like Kino? Come on. Either she is monumentally stupid ("you mean these people that haven't exercised since grade school can't run a marathon??"), which I don't believe for a second, or she is deliberately labeling these videos as "for beginners" for more hits, or to make herself feel good, or for whatever reason. That'd be fine if she wasn't sacrificing the viewers she's pretending to help. It's not that complicated. If you're an authority figure like Kino and say something is for beginners (in other words, "look, this is step one, it's easy"), but that thing is physically impossible for many people, then those people will understandably feel like they can never do it, and give up. Kino knows this, but has the word Beginner in the title and thumbnail of advanced videos. I wish she WAS stupid, because that'd mean she's not actively working to keep others out of yoga. I'm not good at much, but I can catch footballs well. If I said, "Catching a football with one hand is easy" to my teammate who has a hard time with it, I'd be insensitive. If I made a video that said, "Here's how to catch a football for beginners" and started with one-handed catches, and showed it to thousands of people that really wanted to get into catching footballs, I'd be a selfish, irresponsible, mean person, who is good at catching but an abhorrent teacher, even if my tips were technically sound. God, from a teaching perspective, what's worse than discouraging those that came to you to learn? This is still something that can be fixed, if she just re-labels some things. I've seen her comment that she's accepted feedback in the form of creating actual beginner videos. That's great, but as long as these are up, this is a problem.

Mechanicalgift I have been doing yoga for almost two years and I find it hard because she didn’t explain it well and used Sanskrit words that I didn’t know what they were so I had to keep looking at the video but I did like the practice

@@AllTheBaconAndEggs Yep.

+Ibu Alvarado That's awesome!!

Awesome! Keep practicing :)

Nice work

So good to hear, thanks!

thanks :)

Thank you so much for your feedback. I've listened to people's comments and created a one month beginner challenge. Would you mind checking that out to see if you feel it starts off and truly address absolute beginners?

Thank you. Yup , the dumbing down of the intellectual process so prevalent in internet comments seems to now paint any and all constructive criticism as hateful. Intention is the key. If a comment is meant to alert an unprepared beginner away from a possible injury or from having a truly discouraging initial yogic experience than I'm all for reading those types of comments. I call it feedback not hate. ;-0) Take it or leave but please don't try to silence me when I give it. It's really a gift in disguise.

Yup..definitely censored.

Great to hear that you're feeling better :)

Thanks for your feedback, I've created a one month beginner yoga series that builds people up from the absolute basics. The backbends presented here are the most basic from the Ashtanga Yoga method. There are in fact many more advanced backbends which would be absolutely dangerous to share in a beginner video. Plus, I meant this video as a beginner backbend video, like if you want to begin your backbend practice, not as a video for total beginners starting yoga. I can see how the title is confusing and I'll consider a new title.

Misslisaflows really

Misslisaflows really? These weren't hard

I looked this up because I couldn’t do a back bend and was determined to accomplish it and this video showed me how. I found it very useful

I’m gonna have to agree this isn’t total beginner but this a goal for me.

Great to hear :)

Thanks for practicing

Try my new 30 days of yoga for complete beginners series 🙏😊

+Shobana V Definitely consider it!!!
