  • 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.

  • 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.
