Wheel Yoga
Specialized class with a yoga wheel for deep spinal decompression and chest opening
About this practice
Wheel Yoga is a transformative practice utilizing a specially contoured yoga wheel. The prop acts as a supportive guide that mirrors the natural curve of the spine, enabling safe, deep backbends.
For desk workers, the yoga wheel provides immediate relief. The gentle pressure along the spine massages tight intercostal and shoulder muscles, passively opening the chest and reversing forward slump.
This class takes place once a month as an experiential session. Sabi guides you step by step to use the wheel for spinal traction, core balance, and liberating back opening.
