According to the 48-year-old, the pose is not a beginner’s pose. “This is not a beginner pose and I do it after warming (up) and opening my back and shoulders for at least 30-40 minutes. First, master the bridge pose (where you lift just the hips). Then work step by step on the wheel pose,” she suggested.

Malavade added that the pose helps one to open shoulders, hips, and aids in extending the spine.

“So go easy…it takes years of consistent practice to get here,” she mentioned.

Here’s why you should incorporate this pose in your yoga practice.

The pose is known to be extremely effective to strengthen the legs, arms, spine ad abdomen while opening the chest. It also stretches the shoulders, hip flexors, glutes, and thighs while increasing flexibility.

Contra-indications

Practitioners with back problems, shoulder injury, pregnancy, high and low blood pressure should be mindful.
