Hello, I'm Joann. As a yoga coach, my goal is to guide you to a practice that is not only physically beneficial but mentally empowering. Today, I’m excited to share some of my top yoga tips and techniques that will help improve your flexibility, enhance your strength, and ensure proper alignment in your practice. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique, these tips will elevate your practice!
The Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana) is an excellent posture for opening up the chest and building core strength, but it's important to approach it with the right alignment. The incorrect version often involves dropping the hips, misaligning the feet, and collapsing the chest, which can put unnecessary strain on the lower back and wrists.
In the correct alignment, make sure to lift your chest, press evenly into the feet, and use blocks for extra support if needed. This approach helps you avoid injury and ensures you get the most out of this empowering pose.
If you find the traditional Warrior III pose difficult to perform, don't worry—modifications are here to help! In the image, you’ll see a modification where the standing leg is slightly bent, keeping the torso in a more neutral position while still working on your balance.
