30-Minute Backbend Boost with Chair Support – Weekly Advanced Class 418

This invigorating 30-minute sequence sharpens your backbends and delivers a welcome lift in energy. Ideal both for dedicated practice days and for busy times when you need a quick, revitalising boost. Using the support of a yoga chair, the class streamlines the usual preparatory work and takes you straight into effective, well-supported actions that open the shoulder blades and upper back. You’ll explore these techniques in accessible variations of Ustrasana and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana before developing them further in progressively deepening chair backbends such as Viparita Dandasana. After expanding the chest and invigorating the spine, the practice gently returns you to neutral with lower-back-soothing Pavanamuktasana and a calming Savasana to settle the breath and nervous system.
