Sit on the oor and place wheel behind your tailbone, so it aligns with your spine.
With feet at on the oor, hip distance apart, toes pointed forward, place your
hands on the wheel behind you to hold it in place as you begin to press yourself
up and against the wheel.
Once balanced, begin to lay back on the wheel and carefully extend arms
behind you, arms next to your ears.
Reach back and place palms on the oor, ngers facing toward your head, and
keep elbows in tight by your ears.
Hold here to help increase exibility and learn proper form for a backbend.
As you increase strength and exibility, begin to press up through shoulders to
increase strength until you are able to press up through heels and palms and lift
yourself completely off of the wheel into a full backbend.
