  1. Is quite a lot of lumbar spine extension dangerous?I know flexion (especially weighted) could lead to a slipped disk problem but what about extension? I use it a lot for (arched) handstands, side splits and (non optimal yet) bridges. I am working on more thoracic/shoulder/hip flexor mobility using tools like the mastery series, but in the meanwhile i am using and playing around with what my body can currently do. This short clip is a more concrete example of sth i feel uncertain about:
  2. Hi All, I intended to mention this at the recent workshop in Vancouver. I have found with a few individuals, when applying the partner chest opener stretch some report a strong sensation of hyper extension in the elbow joint. Experimenting with grip position, reducing the line of pull and easing up the stretch helps reducing the elbow discomfort but does not always yield the optimal stretch through the chest. I have noted these individuals are typically women and present tightness though the arm and/or some hyper-mobility. Any thoughts on how to remedy the elbow strain? Or beginning with other stretches and building up to? Blair
