Reduce stress with half-wheel yoga

THÙY DƯƠNG (THEO HEALTHSHOTS) |

To increase flexibility and reduce stress, regularly do the half-wheeled yoga pose according to the instructions below from Healthshots.

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.

People who should be careful when doing half-wheeled yoga

This pose is not suitable for people with serious back injuries and chronic back pain.

People with neck, spine or hip injuries should not do this pose.

The rear-wheel curling move in a half-wheel position can cause dizziness.

Pregnant women should consult a doctor before performing this pose because it can put unnecessary pressure on the fetus.
