Recently, some of my partners wrote to me privately and asked: Are there some yoga wheel exercise sequences?

For those who like backbends, the yoga wheel should not be a stranger, it can be considered a backbend aid! It can help stretch the back muscles and also help open the shoulders and chest, allowing the body to enter backbends more safely and comfortably! #yoga wheel

In addition, the yoga wheel can play a supporting role in some higher-level asanas, and can enhance the depth of the asana!

Today we are sharing 10 yoga wheel exercises for advanced practitioners. You will find that with the aid of the yoga wheel, some higher-level asanas can be made easy!
