Using props to enhance the efficiency of your practice isn't cheating -- it's smart. That said, "the cheater's series" has more ring to it than "the smart series." Whatever we call it, this practice is designed to maximize your comfort and depth in backbends while minimizing your output by using a few well-placed props. In particular, you will explore new ways of doing cobra, up-dog, bow, bridge, upward-facing bow. Try it, you'll like it (unless you're an extreme rugged-individualist type, in which case you're more than welcome to make things harder on yourself than you need to).
