Chakrasana (Wheel Pose)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chakrasana is derived from Sanskrit words \u201cChakra\u201d means \u201cWheel\u201d<\/strong> and \u201casana\u201d means \u201cpose\u201d<\/strong>. It is also called Upward Bow pose. It is one of the best back bending poses that can also open the chest area. It also engages the entire body and tones the legs. If you feel sad or depressed, this pose will help you to feel happy, as it also opens up the Anahata Chakra.<\/p>\n

How To Do It?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2981 Lie down on the yoga mat and bend the knees to place the heels as close to the sitting bones, as possible. You should prepare your mind for the deep backbend and also focus inwards to perform the\u00a0Urdhva Dhanurasana.
\n\u2981 Take the arms behind the head to bend the elbows and place both the palms near the head on the yoga mat. The fingers will be spread for a greater grip and they will point in the direction of the body whereas the forearms would be almost perpendicular to the floor.
\n\u2981 Now, press the feet into the ground. Exhale and push the tailbone up into the air, gradually lifting the buttocks off the floor. As the entire lower body is in the air, bring your attention to the hands. In the same fashion, press the hands into the floor, the shoulder blades pressed against the back to lift the crown of the head in the air. Stay in the position for a few breaths to gain a grip on the pose.
\n\u2981 In order to enter urdhanurasana\u00a0completely, firmly press the palms and feet further into the floor and straighten the hands all the way to gain length and lift the head away from the floor. The pubis will be lifted towards the navel and the lower back will be arched beautifully (no loose movements). The knees are gently bent, and the tailbone and knee will come in same focus line.
\n\u2981 Stay in the pose for 3 to 5 breaths and gradually come out of it by first bringing the head to the floor and then the back. Perform this pose a couple of times before switching to another asana.<\/p>\n

Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2981 If you practice this asana in winters, it is beneficial, as it heats up the body.
\n\u2981 Your arms, legs, spinal cord, and abdomen will be strengthened.
\n\u2981 It is a chest opener.
\n\u2981 Your shoulders also get stretched.
\n\u2981 It also stretches the hips and core.
\n\u2981 Your thighs and glutes are also strengthened.
