CHAKRASANA (Inverted Bow Pose or Wheel Pose)- Sanskar Yogashala Yoga School in Rishikesh India
CHAKRASANA (Inverted Bow Pose or Wheel Pose)
CHAKRASANA, as the name suggests, manipulates the body in the form of a wheel. Its other name is URDHVA DHANURASANA( inverted bow pose) since the body takes the shape resembling an inverted archer’s bow. It is one of the advanced postures and requires the spine and the body is a flexible and agile shape. It is recommended that the practitioner must first practise the basic postures before performing the CHAKRASANA. How to perform the posture is being mentioned in step by step format so that the practitioner can easily understand while doing it.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. First lie down straight in supine posture keeping the legs and the hands close to the body.
Step 2. Now fold your legs towards your hips and then spread both legs apart as far as you can comfortably.
Step 3. Now with the help of your hands prepare to lift your upper body (torso) a bit. First place your hands apart with the help of your palms so that you are ready to lift your torso.
Step 4. With your legs apart and firm as well as your hands apart and firm lift your upper body and your legs upwards.
Step 5. With the help of your palms and feet keep in lifting your entire body until your spine and legs form an arch (comfortably and slowly).
