Conseils techniques
When performing a spine backbend, your hands and feet should be shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be straight, and your legs should be directly underneath your hips. One common mistake is bending the arms or having the legs too close together or too far apart, which can put undue stress on your joints and spine.
Your abdominal muscles should be engaged throughout the stretch. This helps to protect your lower back and ensures that the stretch is distributed evenly along your spine. A common mistake is to let the stomach go lax, which can lead to lower back pain.
