Jason Crandell teaching how to tilt the pelvis in backbends
On this episode of Yoga Teacher’s Companion, Jason answers the perennial questions that come up about backbends: First, should you tilt your pelvis toward your thighs or away from your thighs when you backbend? Second, should you rotate the thighs internally or externally? The answer depends on the body-type of the student. Learn how tilting your pelvis can change your backbend — and which option is best for you and your students.
