“Meditation is the action of silence.”<\/h3>\n

Wheel Pose<\/h3>\n

Sanskrit: <\/em><\/strong>Urdhva dhanurasana<\/h5>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

How to do it<\/h4>\n

Lie faceup with knees bent, feet flat on the floor, like you\u2019re prepping for bridge pose. Position your feet parallel to one another, hip-distance apart, with heels under the knees.<\/p>\n

On an inhale, bring your hands to the floor, framing your ears. Your fingers should be facing your heels.<\/p>\n

On an exhale, press down into your hands and feet. Lift your hips and chest off the floor. Straighten your arms and lift up through your shoulders.<\/p>\n

To come out of the pose, bend your arms and slowly lower your upper back down to the floor.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

The benefits<\/h4>\n

This backbend opens the entire front of the body. It strengthens the muscles in your back, shoulders, and hamstrings.<\/p>\n

Life is available only in the present moment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
