Backbends have always fascinated me. My back is a fairly weak and tight point in my body (second only to my hips) so I've been really looking to build strength and openness in my back. I've found a few great practices that have helped me become more confident in my backbends. Still not ready for one leg in upward facing bow pose/wheel pose (the above picture), but I can tell I am getting stronger.
Bow pose - Taking pictures of myself helps me see how properly I'm doing each pose, I love knowing what I'm doing incorrectly (if only I had a wall of mirrors to help me out!)
Bridge pose is a gentler backbend :)
