Chakrasana Tutorial

Ashtanga | By Jodi Blumstein on Mar 14 2012
Chakrasana is both a posture and a transitional move that takes you from lying on your back to chaturanga, through your next vinyasa and on to your next pose. This Backward Somersault is an important movement to maintain healthy range of motion in the neck, however it needs to be done with great care. Jodi will teach you step by step how to safely navigate this tricky posture.

    Thanks Jodi! I love this teaching method for Chakrasana. Now if the Ashtangi in me could just figure out how to fold the blankets neatly... :)
