What is the half-wheel yoga pose?
The half-wheel yoga pose (ardha chakrasana) is named after the Phan language. This is a basic back curl position that serves as a starting point for many advanced asana yoga poses. When exercising, practitioners need to bend their bodies like half a wheel. This exercise brings a unique combination of strength, flexibility and body balance.

First, start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a straight position.
Gently raise your arms overhead, palms facing each other.
As you inhale, gently bend your upper back, extending your spine back.
Bend over your waist and continue to reach back, forming a semiconductor shape.
Place your hands on your lower back for support, with your fingers pointing down.
Hold the back curl for a few breaths.
Exhale and slowly return to an upright position.
