How Can I Use This Wheel? The yoga wheel is an amazing tool to help reverse our culture of sitting and rounding the shoulders forward. 1. Massage the spine • Find a seat on the ground and bring the wheel directly behind you so that it connects with the low back and sacrum. • With the feet planted, bring the arms overhead and begin to roll back and forth on the wheel. • You can roll back until your head meets the ground or until you've found a deep enough opening. • Find an interesting place and hang out there for 3 -5 breaths. • Once your back has had enough, find child's pose to counter the deep backside opening. 2. Open the front side body • Let the arms drape down by your sides and allow the shoulders to soften and open. • Try taking the legs long and allowing them to be heavy, letting the hip flexors soften and open. • Let the belly completely stretch out here - think expansion and extension. • Hang out here for as long as it's comfortable, then find child's pose. 3. Aid in flexibility Below is a simple way to help stretch the hamstrings and find a deeper variation of paschimottanasana. • Find a seat on the ground, extend your legs long in front of you, and place the yoga wheel in front of the feet. • On an inhale breath, bring arms overhead and find length in the spine. • On an exhale breath, fold forward and clasp hands around the wheel. • Use the wheel as a pulley system to help slowly deepen and soften into the pose. • Remember - hinge from your hips, keep the quads engaged & knee caps slightly lifted, and feet flexed. • Take a few breaths here and then release.
