    We’ve all been there—it’s a new yoga pose and you can’t quite understand what to do. That’s exactly how I felt until I read this article about Wheel Pose. From the description of the poses to explaining which muscles you should feel, it was very detailed and easy to understand. It made me want to try it out even more!

    I’m so grateful for this pose! I love how it really opens up my chest and releases tension in my body. Doing this pose has given me a greater sense of energy and connection. Thank you for teaching me this pose, Yoga Basics!
