Dario Calvaruso preparing Carol for the cakrāsana (wheel).
Here Carol’s first very attempt. Advance poses should be achieved only after conditioning. The cakrāsana conditioning prepares the practitioner in achieving the posture with no stress on the shoulders and wrist. It is about achieving anterior stretch (not a back bend). Knees should kept straight and one should not drop on the floor. Drop-back is very harmful for the wrist, shoulder and back/spine.
