16.08.20 - I didn’t really have a plan for today’s training, but I ended up working on this trick (called Cocoon). I normally do this with my inside leg on the pole as it feels more secure, but for a combo I’m working on I need to do it with the outside leg, so that’s what I practised. I think I could go deeper into the stretch, but I hadn’t warmed up my back so I didn’t want to push it. Hopefully in a few months I’ll have some progress pictures!

17.11.19 - a little back bend training. Really trying to open up my upper & mid back, instead of compensating by hyperextending through my shoulders and lumbar spine.

25.09.23 - It's been a hot minute since I did bridge. I did a really energetic yoga flow today and was really warm, so I decided to squeeze a bridge in before finishing up and was pleasantly surprised. My upper back is doing absolutely nothing, annoyingly, but given I didn't actually focus much on back bends this session, I'll take it.

23.08.20 - I learned this stretch in contortion class on Tuesday and loved how it felt on my upper back! I don’t quite feel like I got in the right position today, but it still felt good. Maybe someday I’ll actually see some improvement in my back bends...

18.08.20 - today on #missionbumhat - this felt bendier than it looked, but I’m still quite pleased with it, especially given my back’s been feeling really stiff lately. I think I overdid it slightly the other week 😭 I still need to get that pesky upper back to work harder, but I think it’s starting to get there... maybe.
