Yoga back bends for beginners - Iyengar yoga 

Here is the link to the previous video called "Basic back bend yoga sequence": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jANooM-AktI.html

I like the instruction (also Iyengar trained) and I forwarded to a massage client (Google SF) with symptoms like hands feeling tingling/neuropathy at night. We'll see if it helps him. A non Yoga person without this background, who just wants to feel better, may not want to go through so much info but, pain is a motivator. Since watching the foundational backbend video (I've not found that yet) is not an option for a busy guy who is not an officianado of Yoga, I sent the video w the caveat to use the instruction to move your tailbone to the floor (given near the end of the first variation shown), right from the start. Ofc, if someone watched your first video, they'd already have that knowledge! Thanks for so much good energy and clear instruction. I appreciated this and am grateful to be inspired to do some variations of shalabasana that I've not tried for years. This is lovely!!

You teach exactly like my Iyengar yoga teacher in Mumbai....❤ Thank you so much.

By placing the blanket exactly under the pelvic band,our period of stay in the asana increases exponentially....

Ujjai breathing happens by default in chatushpadasana

Excellent video...thanks a tonne for making this video as per my request.I practice Iyengar yoga in Mumbai and,as a teacher,you are right up there..Your instructions are so precise and perfect.God bless.❤😊

I thank Ishwara for sending you, Heather! 🙏 Absolutely love your instructions. I tend to get most out of your videos when I go through them the third or fourth time since then i know what to expect and am only listening to some subtle instructions that i may have missed. A question - When you work with seniors ( say 50 plus) do you advice them to also add some sort of muscular/ strength training in addition to Iyengar Yoga ? Or have you found this practice sufficient in your experience?
