A dancer came in with a locked-up thoracic spine, unable to hit her full backbend. We used this partner-assisted camel pose variation. Her partner provides a stable base, allowing her to release her quads and psoas while I guide her shoulders into a deeper, safer arch. She felt an immediate release through her entire front body. 🤸‍♀️ Send this to a friend who needs to open up their back! #wellness #movement #flexibilitytraining #backbend #partnerstretch #spinemobility
