How to use a yoga wheel

The yoga wheel helps you quickly but surely adopt new yoga postures that may seem difficult to you. Its use compensates for the lack of flexibility and initial strength. She is particularly skilled and appreciated to accompany "heart-opening exercises" such as lean-back positions. It allows beginners to make rapid progress, gives them the desire, the motivation to go further by evolving more quickly in practice.

Whether you are beginner or advanced yogi, there are definitely some asanas which you find more difficult than others. Many yogis have a rather bad experience with positions where they have to bend backwards, in which case the flexibility of the spine is usually the problem. The yoga wheel helps you gently persevere at your own pace to slowly accustom your body to movements unfamiliar asanas and make them your own, gently.

Characteristics of a yoga wheel:

By using it, you can improve your flexibility and your balance. As the name suggests, it is a wheel that is usually made of wood or plastic. The surface is usually made of plastic, cork or polyurethane materials. The last two materials guarantee a better grip during exercises.

The yoga wheel, or "Yoga wheel" comes from the United States, invented by two yoga and Pilates teachers to help beginners progress. It is not a classic yoga accessory, it is also used in Pilates, rehabilitation and other sports such as fitness or the gymnastics.

What are the concrete benefits of the yoga wheel?

It is used to help maintain certain balance postures. It works the stretch of the muscles, thighs and hips. It remarkably promotes the opening of the chest, shoulders and back.

Similar to a yoga block, a brick or to a yoga bolster, a yoga wheel helps you achieve more difficult postures. This is especially important for beginners, as they usually don't have enough flexibility to perform certain asanas. Advanced yogis can use it to intensify poses and take their yoga practice to a whole new level.

The main benefits:

• Learning and mastering difficult postures,
• Stretching and strengthening the muscles of the chest, back and shoulders,
• Gently work on the flexibility of the spine,
• Working safely the notion of balance,
• Release tension and enjoy a massage similar to the Black Roll,
• Achieving a deeper breath,
• Make your yoga practice more varied and satisfying

This accessory is mainly used to practice backbends and is placed under the back. Like a block or a bolster, the back is lifted and the backward movement is supported. But the wheel accompanies with more softness the work on the flexibility of the spine , while making it possible to gradually insist on the limits to be crossed. You can decide for yourself how far you want to go in the stretching.

By leaning back, the front of your upper body expands, we also speak of "opening the space of the heart". The breath can flow more freely and at the same time the spine becomes more flexible over time. Tension in the chest, shoulders and back can also be released. Leaning back is a wonderful countermovement to sitting posture that many of us have been adopting in everyday life for a long time.

It can be used, not only for backbends, but also for other exercises. You can use the yoga wheel as support for legs and feet in other positions.

Energetic and poetic inspiration

The seven chakras that are laser engraved all around the wheel give an inspiring vibratory touch.

Qu Yuan is the first Chinese poet whose name is known; also he can be regarded as the founder of Chinese poetry.

One of the oldest poems in Chinese culture is inscribed inside the wheel.

"The road is long and narrow, and I will seek the sun".

This famous phrase is taken from the 97th line of Qu Yuan's Li Sao. It can be interpreted in its context as: "The road is narrow and long, and there is no limit to it, so I will try to find the sun in my heart. It expresses the positive attitude of Qu Yuan, who seeks to improve no matter what comes his way.
