Urdhva Dhanurasana is a powerful, full-body backbend. It is challenging, yes(!), but accessible with the right preparation and support. Wheel requires strength, mobility, and coordination, and when approached with intention, it can cultivate confidence, openness, and a surprising boost of energy.

In this workshop, we’ll look at where to begin with this big shape, and how to refine it if it’s already part of your practice. Whether you’re a student wanting to explore the pose, or a teacher wanting to better guide your students, this workshop offers clear techniques to progress in an effective way.

Together, we will:

• Understand the shape from a biomechanical and functional perspective
• Build the pose from the foundation up
• Explore a step-by-step approach with a focused warm-up
• Work with variations and modifications so you can practice at your level and learn the pose in a way that feels supportive

This workshop isn’t about creating a “perfect” Wheel—it’s about understanding your body, exploring options, and embracing the pose with curiosity and playfulness.

Yoga teachers can receive 2 hours CEU for Yoga Alliance.
