Backbends may seem scary or impossible at first. You may say you are not flexible enough to do backbends. NOT TRUE.
Everyone can learn how to backbend and you can do it safely and without fear if you learn the correct way to do it. The backbend benefits are vast, from making your spine stronger to making you braver, and a million other things in between.
Like everything worth working for in life, you need to get your ego out of the way and be willing to start small. Because small things grow and small steps turn into giant leaps. This backbend challenge is one you can work on for as long as you need to until you arrive!
