Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana) is a backbend that is characterized as a beginner's backbend, but it still requires building up strength and flexibility to achieve it. It opens the chest, shoulders, and hips in a way that counteracts the typical modern-day sitting posture. Backbends are usually done near the end of a yoga practice. After performing Wheel Pose, it is common to do a mild twist or forward bend. Benefits: improves spine mobility and opens chest. Energize and lift your mood.
I love to do this stretch right after class especially when I play a lot of tennis to relieve the tension on my shoulder blade and neck.
See you on the mat!!!
