Chakrasana Yoga Asana
Chakrasana Yoga Asana:
Chakrasana is an intermediate asana that can help
to prepare the body and mind for deeper backbends and heart-opening postures like chakrasana
(wheel pose). The name is derived from the Sanskrit ardha, meaning "half", "chakra", meaning "wheel", and asana,
meaning "pose".
Chakrasana Yoga Asana Steps:
- To begin the Chakrasana yoga pose, lie comfortably on your back.
- Slowly bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor.
- Your feet should be around a foot away from your hips.
- Position your hands on the floor above your shoulders. Your fingers must face your shoulders.
- Now press on to your hands and lift the upper part of your body over the mat.
- Rest the crown of your head lightly on the ground.
- Press into your feet and lift your legs, pelvis, and abdomen off the mat. Do this while activating your inner thigh muscles.
- Make sure you bring more weight to your palms. This helps protect your lower back from strain.
- Let your head hang in a stable and neutral position. Don't let your neck strain.
- Hold the pose for 5-10 seconds.
- To return to the starting position, lower your arms and legs gently and place your back on the mat.
