The
Yoga Wheel is a prop that is circular and is composed to align perfectly with
one’s spinal curve. The main aim of using the Yoga Wheel is to help with
opening the front of the body, to elongate the spine, giving more space for
opening the chest and shoulders. And all this can be carried out safely by
using the Yoga
Wheel prop.
It
is used chiefly for backbends. It can help students build endurance and stay
longer in a particular pose without worrying about injuring any part of the
spine. Let’s discover some more incredible benefits of using it.
- The
main purpose of using a Yoga Wheel is to further open the shoulders,
biceps and triceps, chest, middle back, lower back, spine, hamstrings,
abdominal muscles, and core muscles.
- The use
of a Yoga Wheel for certain poses in heart-opening yoga sequences can be
done to support the further opening of the chest and shoulders, by putting
the Yoga Wheel at the middle back.
3. Forming part of deep
backbend yoga sequences, the Yoga Wheel can be utilized as a support, assisting
students to either stay longer in the pose or enhance the practice.
4. Challenging yoga poses
can be made more daunting and easier to perform by using the Yoga equipment
and accessories, to help build stamina, energy, flexibility, deep
awareness, stability, muscle strength, etc., based on the performer's body and
need.
