In this post, I am continuing with the second part of my training to attain a beautiful wheel, or Urdhva Dhanurasana<\/strong>. I find this inverted posture to be very demanding, and it continues to defeat me, but I am determined to keep practising it to improve and evolve.<\/p>\n In the first post<\/a>, I told you that this asana<\/em>, like all asanas<\/em> in yoga, requires not only physical, but also mental, commitment. I continue working on progressing and overcoming my limitations, since the inverted posture of the wheel brings you face to face with a different perspective<\/strong> and requires a lot of strength, elasticity and openness in the chest. I am trying to see it as nothing more than another obstacle to overcome through practice and consistency, ignoring the scepticism that sometimes accompanies me. As I mentioned in the first part, something as silly as remembering moments from my childhood, when the wheel was a playful pose, which required no particular strength, motivates me. I think\u2026 if my body has already been there, surely sooner or later it will achieve it again.<\/p>\n In this second post, I will continue to show you how to work on the physical parts involved.<\/strong> I have to continue preparing my body and the three key points needed -that I have been told- to execute Urdhva Dhanurasana correctly: <\/strong>openness in the chest, which I explained in the first part; flexibility in the hips, which you can see in this post<\/a>; and strength in the arms, which I am sharing with you today.<\/p>\n I have chosen a video format to show and explain each step, sharing my self-practice with you, showing you how I strengthen my arms to achieve one of the most demanding postures from the first series of Mysore Ashtanga.<\/p>\n
