I remember those days of being “the best”. Problem is, I broke myself because of it. Backbends we’re never hard, but the forward bends. That’s what broke me.

6 weeks intensive teacher training, left me on the floor with debilitating lower back spasms. Took another 6 weeks for the program to finish. By that time I figured out how to pay attention. But took another 18 months to fully recover and learn how to NOT end up there again.

Core stability.

I see it in you also. Flexy “can do it all” yoga person. Watch out for those little pains in lower back and sacrum. They will amplify as long as you are wobbly. Attention to stability on your core will keep you going strong for decades yet.

Sorry for the sermon. Your back bend is impressive. Thanks for sharing. 💜

Hahaha I understand. I’ve done yoga my whole life, but the reason why I can do a lot on my hands and with back bends is because I was a national gymnast 🤣 I agree with not pushing. I used to be able to do gnarly flips and whatever, but I’m in my 30s now so that’s over. I was never the best and never will be, that’s not the goal. I’m proud of what I can do; however wobbly, it brings me great joy to be upside down.
