Backbend sequence for Friday


Hi All, we are on this Friday at 4:30 and there's teacher training at 3:30 for an additional ten dollars if you are interested.  This  one is  from  Devon.   She  says "Here is a Jr III type sequence leading toward Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana, based on a sequence from Light on Yoga.  A bit odd in the sequence order, but this is the way Mr. Iyengar did it back in the days he was writing the book.  Interesting to feel how the older method works."
