Fearless Like Phoebe

Practicing backbends help us to take baby steps toward vulnerability and any risk invites a sense of vulnerability. At first, we may feel exposed. We may notice our physical body tensing up or our breath catching, becoming shallow or forced. But over time our body softens, our breath eases and we begin to feel more comfortable in the uncomfortable. Backbends can empower and encourage us to be more courageous and compassionate.
