@jl.yoga on Hollowback Wheel ✌️ ・・・ As promised! #pinchahollowback tutorial. This one’s a toughie! It took me quite a while to understand the dynamics of the pose, and countless fall outs into forearm wheel! Half of the battle is just figuring out your body upside down, in this tutorial we use blocks to remove some of the balancing so that you can think upside down 🙃 ． PRE-REQ: forearm wheel WARM-UP with: Low lunge (bringing foot towards head) Wheel pose and forearm wheel Standing dancer pose (with flip grip or strap) ． Video PART I: If you don’t have the balance on your forearms down just yet practice forearm wheel and stepping your feet up on blocks (or your feet in towards your hands) ． Video PART II: Kick up into forearm stand (with wall option), use blocks (as many as you need) to bridge the gap between foot and hands. *if Part I was a deep backbend for you, you will need to take the blocks further away from your hands ． Video PART III - full pose: I like to look towards my hands first to connect foot to hands and then take my head/chest through. This is a balancing act! As your foot comes to your hands, take your chest through (away from your foot) Press your foot into your hands to find more lift in the shoulders and chest. Don’t forget to breathe and stay calm ． Hope this is helpful! What else do you guys want to see?
