okay, so stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms locked out straight above your head beside your ears!. MAKE SURE when you start to bend backwards you look at the ground and keep your arms locked so they won't buckle!. if that's too advanced place your hand on your lower back and bend back as far as possible THE KEY IS TO LOOK AT THE GROUND where you're going!. so with your hands on your back bending backwards once you can't bend back any further put your LOCKED arms on the ground!.

Work up to the normal backbend by placing one arm on the ground (looking so you don't fall) before placing your other arm on the ground!. Once you get good at this (and you can stand back up), then go for the regular backbend, with two arms going down at the same time, no arm help coming up!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
I would use a spotter!. Focus!. Take both your hands and place them in the triangle shape and use that to focus with!. Put your arms over your head while looking at your triangle!. Keep your eyes on your hands!. Start to separate your hands and place them on the floor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
