INTERVIEW with B.K.S. IYENGAR on BACKBENDS 12/5/91 Questions Asked by Victor Oppenheimer and Patricia Walden
INTERVIEW WITH B.K.S. IYENGAR ON BACKBENDS 12/5/91 Questions asked by Victor Oppenheimer and Patricia Walden These questions were asked during the teachers’ backbend intensive Mr. Iyengar taught in November-December, 1991. This intensive was videotaped, and some of the questions refer to the videotapes. The interview was transcribed and edited by Francie Ricks. Victor Oppenheimer: Why backbends? B.K.S. Iyengar: In the asana systems, the most advanced postures are the backbends. The human structure is such that the idea does not strike anyone that the spinal vertebrae can be moved backward as well as forward and sideways, without causing injury. In the field of yoga, backbends are not taught at the early stages in the practice of this art, but only when the body is trained and when it is tuned and toned to such an extent that it can accept these poses. Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. But in backbends, like meditations, each person has to feel. And that’s why I thought that after fifty years of teaching, at least some of my students should get the background of the right means to perform the backbends. Backbends are not poses meant for exhibitionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes. The back body cannot be seen; it can only be felt. That’s why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back, first on the peripheral level, then inwards, towards the core.

8 Core Strengthening Moves with the Yoga Wheel
8 Core Strengthening Moves with the Yoga Wheel Got a yoga wheel? Looking for ways to use it, instead of letting it accumulate dust in your prop corner? I was guilty of this until I took my first yoga wheel workshop and got comfortable playing around with it, and now I use my wheel for a lot more than just draping myself over top in a yummy backbend (which IS really nice, I’m not gonna lie). But, there are TONS of other ways to use your yoga wheel, and it’s super fun to get creative. This accumulation of poses focuses on strength building through the center of the body. Yes, the core. There, I said it. I almost hate to use the word “core” because I feel like it’s so fitness-based and overused. But….I do think core strength is actually really important to overall strength and staying out of pain. As I’ve entered my 40s, my low back pays the price if I neglect good-old-fashioned core work, as I’ll collapse into my lumbar curve. Also, I am a bit obsessed with arm balances and inversions, and core work is KEY to developing the strength to tackle these postures. When I practice these, I feel strong, free, and balanced…like I can take on the world. I hope these yoga wheel moves help you feel the same way! If you don’t have a wheel yet, I prefer the original Dharma Yoga Wheel, which you can get here. (Just FYI, this is an affiliate link, which means if you make a purchase using the link I may receive some love in return!) Without further ado, below are 8 postures using your yoga wheel to strengthen your core (and more).

RIMYI Certification Course Guidlines Booklet
CERTIFICACERTIFICATIONTION AND ASASSESSMENTSESSMENT GUIDELINES AprilJuly 20202020 It is relatively easy to be a teacher of an academic subject, but to be a teacher in art is very difficult, and to be a yoga teacher is the hardest of all, because yoga teachers have to be their own critics and correct their own practice. — B.K.S. Iyengar Contents Introduction 04 Section A Certification Structure 06 Section B Becoming a Teacher 09 Section C Criteria for Assessors 11 Section D Assessment Process 12 Section E Feedback 28 Section F Syllabus 29 Notes 44 FAQs 50 Appendix 61 Introduction Don’t be exclusive, be inclusive… not only in asana but every walk of life. – B.K.S. Iyengar Guruji was a believer in tradition but at the same time, he was a great revolutionary. He discovered new paths for imparting objective knowledge of a philosophical subject like yoga. Paramparã was important to him but he recognised that as the community grew larger, a different framework for teaching and assessment would be needed. Over the past few years, Geetaji and Prashantji repeatedly pointed out that assessments are losing their basic purpose and teacher training is becoming a business. Their observation and criticism have immense value in Iyengar Yoga. Their concerns have motivated us to dig deeper into the process of yoga teaching worldwide. On behalf of RIMYI, we elicited feedback on the current methodology of teaching and assessment. The response was overwhelming. Letters, mails, What’s apps, messages….every corner of the world had something to contribute. We, at the institute, have taken cognisance of every conceptual contribution offered.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but ﬁrst we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.

Downward Facing Yoga Mama
Downward Facing Mama: Inversion Issues During Pregnancy Here is an "Ask the Monkey" question we received recently: "I've been told pregnant women should not do Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog). What are some alternative poses I could offer my pregnant students (in a non pre-natal class) that offer the same benefits?" I was really happy to see this question come into the 90Monkeys mailbox, because it means that pregnant women are going to class, and that yoga teachers want to keep them safe. It also gives me the perfect opportunity to talk about inversions in pregnancy, which is a common question for teachers and yoginis. What is an inversion? Believe it or not, there are differing opinions in the yoga world on what exactly constitutes an “inversion”. In some circles, it is defined as any pose where your feet are above your head. This definition of an inversion would then include poses such as Viparita Karini (Legs Up the Wall), Sirsasasna (Headstand), Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand), Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand), and Pincha Mayurasana (Scorpion). Depending on whom you ask, you may also get the answer that inversions are any pose where the head is below the heart. With the second definition of an inversion, we add more poses to the above list including; Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog), Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold), and Prasarita Padottanasana (Standing Straddle Fold). It is important to our discussion of inversions during pregnancy that we are clear on which definition and type of inversion we are referring to. This is because in pregnancy, one of the most important factors is where the pelvis is in relation to the heart, rather than simply the heart’s relationship to the feet or head.

Range of Motion
Very Important!!! Also note: I have not specified to “repeat on opposite side” for tests that should be done on both sides. It is a given that you will do the tests on both sides. For example, if you test neck rotation on one side, you will always do it on both sides. I didn’t note this in the slides for brevity, but please remember that you’ll always test both sides. Take note of which muscles are lengthening and shortening for cues on what muscle is doing what action. Very Important!!! Please note: This slide deck shows both STRENGTHENING and STRETCH ING poses/exercises. The ROM testing indicates restrictions for RANGE OF MOTION (ROM) ONLY! For example, if a slide tells you that the if the client has restrictions with the ROM test that the muscle that is probably restricted is the subscapularis, that means you need to STRETCH (NOT strengthen) the subscapularis. So, why did I also list strengthening exercises in this slide deck? #1) Because we will eventually test for lack of strength to determine which muscles are weak. When we do cover this, you will already know how to strengthen those muscles. This saves time for both of us. #2) Because many people who need to stretch muscles in a particular area may also be weak in that area. NOT NECESSARILY…so don’t automatically assume they need strengthening, but use common sense (and TEST for strength – which we will learn later). For example, if a client is tight in their pecs, but they are a weight lifter, they probably only need stretching for the pecs.
