Eventually, I will do a full body circuit. I have them written down with my own little hieroglyph reminders, but that wouldn't mean anything to anyone else. So, I have to go find the original things I used to make the work outs.
Here are the poses said to work the back. Again, I would team these up with weight lifting and cardio and what not.
Begin with mountain pose, hold that position for five breaths. Go down into forward bend for another five breaths.
Stand up tall and press your palms together in front of your chest, bend at the knees and sit down, holding your hands still twist at the waist. Hold it for 5 breaths on each side for the side fierce.
Stand up and move into a warrior pose reach your back hand to touch as far down on your leg as you can, bring the arm over the head and bend backwards in reverse warrior.
To do an open triangle, stand back up and then put one leg forward, keeping it straight, bend at the waist putting one on arm in front your leg with your hand flat on the ground, but the other one up in the air, trying to make a straight line. Look up towards your hand that's in the air.
For half-moon Stand back up. Balancing on one leg, lean down until your hand is flat on the ground. hold one hand in the air, making a straight line and raise the other leg up into the air.
Stand up and place your feet flat on the floor. Bending at the elbows, place on arm over the other and let the hands touch where ever they can. (this will really stretch your back.) Balancing on one foot, leaning forward, raise one leg straight out into the air. This is the Eagle warrior, or warrior 3 pose.
Now for the side plank. Lay on your side, resting your wait on your hand, or your elbow. I do elbow because it's easier. Place one foot on top of the other or a little in front and raise your free hand into the air.
Bridge pose, or what I know to be the plank. On your stomach, rest the wait of your body on your elbows and your toes. Make sure your elbows are under your shoulders, and your toes are tucked in. Hold this for 5 breathes.
Lay down your stomach for locust pose. Keeping your arms next to your body, and your palms facing up, lift your torso and legs up. For five breathes. From there, go into bow pose by grabbing your legs with your hands.
Now lay on your back, placing your feet flat on the floor bend your knees and raise your hips off the ground. Support your back with your hands for the bridge pose.
Now for the Wheel. Lay flat on your back, bend your elbows back so that your hands are next to your head. Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. Push up with your feet and your arms. Unless your strong, this takes a while to build up too. Hold that for 5 breathes.
Now for the cow face pose, as cool down stretch.
Sit with one leg bent under you, and cross your opposite leg over it and too the side. Take one hand and touch that same shoulder with it and then place the other hand behind your back and try to touch the hands together.
