8-Min Backbend Cool Down | Spine Release & Recovery

A gentle 8-minute cool down routine designed to safely release tension after backbend training — this is the cool down I refer my students to after every backbend class. We work through targeted counter poses, gentle spine release stretches, and lower back decompression to bring your back to neutral and support healthy recovery. Use this after any backbend session — wheel pose, bridge pose, camel pose, chest stand, contortion training, or any class that worked your spine into deep extension. You'll need: a yoga mat and a yoga block. 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:22 Gentle Spine Release: Forward Folds 02:18 Hip & Lower Back Release 04:37 Flexibility Conditioning Exercises 07:54 Breath Reset 📅 PART OF MY 30-DAY BACKBEND CHALLENGE This routine was created as part of my 30-Day Backbend Challenge.
