Health Benefits of CHAKRASANA Wheel Yoga :-
- Through this asana, an aspirant can make his spine quite elastic. Elasticity of the spine preserves youth for a very long time.
- This asana is an adjunct to Sarvangasana. When a long turn of Sarvangasana gives one a cramped neck or pain in the shoulders, a turn of Chakrasana helps to remove it. The reason is that the twist is on the backside.
- This asana has all the benefits of Dhanurasana, Shalabhasana and Bhujangasana.
