Instructions

Ever wondered how to do a chair backbend? Welcome to the bliss of this life-changing pose. Viparita Dandasana on the chair is one of life’s great pleasures! It completely transforms the sternum/heart space whilst opening the dorsal spine and shoulders, reversing age itself. The chair allows us to benefit from long holds in a normally short pose. This means maximum learning and maximum transformation. Excellent mood shifter and imperative for reversing any signs of depression. It can be done on its own, at any time of day or night.
