Wheel Pose: Full Posture
Tracey's energy and smile make this class a pure joy, particularly when it takes you into the full pose, wheel posture (chakrasana), also known as upward facing bow pose (urdva dhanurasana). We hope that you will appreciate the gradual, progressive nature of this class and how safe and effective this approach can be. Your spine is delicate, so the gentle opening is a nice way to move into a deep backbend. If you're new to wheel, we recommend that you start with the first class in this series: Wheel Pose: Open the Heart.

Thank you, Tracey, great class that gets right to those sticky spots in the shoulders/arms/hips and great series on wheel pose!
I’ve been intentionally working on wheel, mostly because I want to improve my wheel and build strength. I’ve never had a flexible back and wheel has always felt particularly difficult for me. However, I love this flow and I felt that wheel was easier this time around, given the warm up all the way up to the final pose. Thank you Tracy! Your gentle spirit and mindful choreography made this so enjoyable :)
Smooth practice that was engaging, challenging, relaxing and fun all in one. Great stuff and I always cringe when I hear wheel pose because it’s hard for me. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks Tracy!! Keep being awesome
Compact, all-around stretch and flow leading to wheel. Nicely paced, modifications offered, and great cues. I was able to (sort of) comfortably get into wheel x 2. Still not an easy pose for me, but I didn't feel the usually pinching and "uh-oh!" sensations. Long-ish stretch for the hamstrings/groin/IT band just prior to savasana. Thank you, Tracey!
