I get to the top of my head, and just can’t push farther up!!! Gah!

[janea]

Wow I can't believe I actually just did that! I felt a little bit of fussiness in the right side of my spine as I went up so I came straight back down again, but I still was able to get all the way up! Now I know what I need to work on to be able to do it comfortably. Great video, clear and concise.

i literally only watched this video once and it worked like im obsessed fr yall gone catch me sleepin like this now idc anymore 😭

This was such a quick and informative video. I think I realize what my problem is now and why my arms are never all the way straight when I do my wheel. I never align my wrists with my elbows! Mind blown. Just subscribed. Thank you!

[meredith]

this was a really helpful video, thank you. I am having trouble getting my palms to touch the ground behind me so I have not been successful in this pose in the past. I am not sure how to resolve it and your video brings this up. what do you recommend I do to be ready for a wheel pose? Is it a flexibility or strength issue? Thank you.

[tammyjones]

Excellent instruction, with the all important how to come out of the pose correctly. 😊

uhuh yeah I don’t know how to come out and I think my wrists are taking it the hardest! Finallg was able to do the wheel last week and I tried it again today and slammed my head😮 thank you for these!

[yoshibeast]

I slammed my back real hard while trying this for the first time. This vid really helped out.

[andybritishairways]

This was really helpful thanks . I'm trying to improve my shoulder mobility, thought this would be a good start . I use to be able to do them but now I can't and I think the main reason is lack of flexibility.

[eslChelsea]

Thank you for helping me correct my form ❤️

[tuesdayc]

Oh I did it with your help!! Thanks for your clear instructions!! So excited!!!

[haleighshorror]

Yeah I think I just have 0 upper body strength.

[MsLushLondon]

Thank you for this, very helpful. How do I get flexibility/strength in my wrists?

[highvoltage]

I love how few comments there are here...just shows how difficult this pose is and how few people are willing to try it

[nawsheenshanker]

Thankfully I did it today
After months of trials 😘

[jaska-jalmarixvi]

Hank Hill is one surprisingly fit dude he was able to do this during the few free yoga classes he got!

[smiec]
