Wheel Pose / Chakrasana
by Sri Swami Sivananda
of The Divine Life Society
He who practises this exercise will have perfect control of the body. He will be agile and nimble. He can turn out more work in a short space of time. All the parts of the body are benefited. If you find it difficult to remain in the posture for a long time, lie down flat on the ground, and again lift it up. When you raise yourself into this pose, the body will be light. You will get exhilaration of spirit at once. You will be ready for active work. If there is any pain in the neck and shoulders after the practice of shoulderstand, do this pose immediately for a few minutes. It will relieve the pain as it bends the neck backwards and thus it is a counter-pose to shoulderstand. All the benefits of bow, locust and cobra poses are derived from this exercise.
