Give this a try for your wheel practice ⚙️ 🌈 Set up in bridge having warmed up wrists and shoulders. 🌈 Exhale to activate a posterior tilt and drive into the feet to lift. 🌈 Position the hands BUT instead of bringing the elbows narrow like you see most teachers assist, keep them wide. 🌈 Press onto the head and adjust the hand position if you need to. Make sure you aren’t scrunching the neck. 🌈 Exhale to elevate the scapula and the retract them, it’s a heck of a squeeze and a tad confusing while somewhat inverted. 🌈 Inhale to press and left (thank you triceps!) lengthening the chest away from the legs. 🌈 you can also explore a similar action in viparita dandasana (on the elbows) if the full lift feels too strong. 🌈 I tend to hold these poses for about 10 breaths at a time when I am pretty warmed up. Breathe steadily. . Take the time afterwards to do smaller backbends and some twists to unwind the bigger backbend. Happy wheeling!
