Backbends Quotes

• Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.

• Esa es la belleza de las curvas hacia atrás. Emocionalmente nunca podemos ser perturbados, porque el centro emocional se convierte en un extrovertido. Cuando haces Viparita Dandasana, tu cabeza mira hacia atrás, pero tu mente consciente se extiende por todas partes. Estudia observando cómo se regula la mente. No sólo conocerás la libertad en la columna vertebral, sino también la libertad en el espíritu.

  B.K.S. Iyengar

• Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. Like in meditation each person has to feel backbends.

  B.K.S. Iyengar

  Meditation, Posture, Feels

• I also say with backbends, you have to be cautiously bold. Not carelessly bold. You have to descend to the dictation of the spine. You cannot command from the brain to do the poses. As you play with a child, guarding the child from injuries, similarly you have to play in backbends, guarding your spine.

  B.K.S. Iyengar

• ¿Por qué hacemos todas estas posturas de manos, flexiones de espalda y equilibrios de brazos? No sé por qué las hacemos, a menos que nuestras vidas se moldeen y cambien.
