Backyard Series: Backbends
Erich SchiffmannYear Released: 2002
Categories: Yoga
I tried Backyard Backbends last night, after a long day at work, and could not have
had a more satisfying experience. The opening and wind down are both perfect. I
particular enjoyed the instruction for the locust sequence -and the repeats of locust
- not an asana I'm ordinarily so wild about. I also really enjoyed the bridge and
wheel pactice. Erich's sequencing and first rate instruction got me very deep into
my backbends.
There are two camera angles, the signature Kirby Shelsted, and I'm reliably informed
that Fig the cat makes an appearance. Erich's yogasana practice is so so beautiful
to watch.
Erich describes the level as intermediate. The pinnacle posture is full wheel,
With Erich's Inversions and Lotus dvds, there is a fair amount of material that
is not within my present level of ability. Backbends is well suited to my practice
level. I think its a terrific dvd.
Two mudras up!
