How to reduce "lower back pinch" in lower back heavy backbends?
I understand that I should use more shoulders, upper back, and hip flexors rather than lower back in backbends, but there are some poses that require a lot of lower back to achieve. (for example, an ankle-grabbing bridge instead of straight leg bridge)
It always gives me a pinching sensation in the lower back. Does anyone has any tips to reduce the pinch?
