Protocol Anatomy
A specialized sequence focusing on spinal extension and anterior anatomy opening. Back Bends counteract the 'C-curve' of modern sitting. These heart-opening postures—from gentle Sphinx pose to the full wheel—stretch the chest, hip flexors, and abdominal muscles. Energetically, backbends are intensely stimulating and are renowned for unlocking deep-seated emotions, relieving sorrow, and leaving the practitioner feeling energized, vulnerable, and deeply invigorated.
