This dropback circuit trains you to move into and out of backbends with commitment, clarity, and control. You’ll cycle through three versions—dropbacks at the wall, onto pads (or a couch/chair/bed), and all the way to the floor—doing three dropbacks in each setting, then resting for 30 seconds and repeating the whole sequence for three rounds. Throughout, you focus on a clean vertical arm reach, powerful leg foundation, and a single “sweep of power” on each dropback so you touch down and rise on one breath, opening the spine and energy channels without collapsing or crashing into your support. **This drill develops:** Dropping back to Urdhva Dhanurasana, coming up from backbends, and the leg power, spinal opening, and controlled momentum needed for confident backbending throughout your practice.
