| My guru has said backbends are good for blood circulation in the aorta. |
| In another solo he has a couple of suddenly huge, easy backbends that come out of nowhere and vanish into nothing. |
| I discovered that my backbends were different all the time and that was interesting to me. |
| If you feel sluggish or cold backbends will give you energy by stimulating the kidneys. |
| The fluid and strong dancers do fabulous backbends, and their spines and arms ripple like water. |
