Yoga Wheel Practice Series Exercise
Recently, some of my partners wrote to me privately and asked: Are there some yoga wheel exercise sequences?
For those who like backbends, the yoga wheel should not be a stranger, it can be considered a backbend aid! It can help stretch the back muscles and also help open the shoulders and chest, allowing the body to enter backbends more safely and comfortably! #yoga wheel
