Advanced poses: Chakrasana
April 24th 2009 21:17
Chakrasana is otherwise known as the Kneeling Wheel. To perform the pose, kneel on the floor. Your legs should be fairly close together, as you push your hips forward and arch your back. Tilt a little to one side, and grab your ankle on that side with your hand on the same side. Tilting your head back behind you, reach out for the other ankle with your other hand and even up your backward tilt. Beginners may prefer to start with their legs a little apart when kneeling, as this helps you to get into the pose easier.
To release the pose, bring your head up and body weight forward. Release your ankles on an inhale and straighten up into a regular kneeling position. You can release your ankles both at the same time, or one at a time, depending on your physical ability.
