Wheel Pose gives an intense stretch to your upper body. Do your best to stay in this pose for at least five breaths.
- Lie on your back, bend your knees, and place your feet flat on the
ground (heels as close as possible to your bum). Bend your elbows and
place your palms flat on the ground above your shoulders, fingertips
facing your feet.
- Inhale, press into your palms, and lift your head, shoulders, and
hips off the mat, straightening your arms and legs. Try to walk your
hands and feet a little closer together.
- Stay here for five deep breaths, and then slowly lower your body
down. Eventually you want to do this pose a total of three times. Hug
your knees into your chest to release your lower back.
