Chakrasana or Wheel Pose: Advanced Back Bending Posture in Yoga

 Chakrasana is an intermediate/advanced back bending posture in Yoga, which engages the entire body. It requires flexibility in the spine and strength in the arms, wrists & legs to perform this pose correctly. This pose also helps to fight depression and increases happiness.

The posture can be performed in various ways i.e. while lying on the mat, or in a standing position from tadasana. Beginners can also start this posture with help of the wall. I have described below the benefits of this posture, how to start learning this posture for beginners and the contraindications.

What is Chakrasana?

The word Chakrasana consists of two Sanskrit words, Chakra and Asana. Chakra means wheel and Asana means “posture”. The body takes a position of the wheel while performing this posture and therefore, this posture is called Chakrasana or wheel pose.

It is also called Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward-Facing Bow Pose).

Functional Workout — Fitness and More

  Functional training exercises help you to perform activities in everyday life more easily. These exercises typically use the whole body — multiple muscles — and emphasize core strength and stability. By mirroring the movements of your daily life, like squatting, reaching, or even carrying a heavy object, building functional strength can help increase your quality of life and reduce your risk of injury. Bodybuilding-type strength training — which often just focuses on one muscle group — doesn’t provide as many benefits in the functional fitness realm. For example, a bicep curl targets just the bicep, but a bicep curl plus a reverse lunge combo integrates the whole body and tests your balance. Learn more about  functional training in Gurgaon .
