When I first learned about them a decade ago I thought it was woowoo weird made up witchy shit. Now I understand that they're simply another way of conceptualizing how humans function, mapping our bodies and understanding how we work. So a big back bend pose like this stretching us tightly from the legs all the way up over the armpits. The entire spine is stretched and the most vulnerable inner parts are exposed. We are peeled open and hella vulnerable. It's a position to go into to reverse all the hiding closing down stuckness that happens through life. When your feel discouraged, disheartened, disconnected, afraid etc... your energy is contracting and not flowing as much through your body. Too much in that direction and you full on stop and die. This wheel is the opposite. It's like whoah.....we are open and alive and ready for all the feelings, all the energy to be awake in us. My back bend in this video is HUGE. I'm super flexible since I've been dancing and yoga-ing my entire life. Most people start much lower and closer to the ground. I'm really just showing off this pose at it's full capacity but you can achieve the same opening benefits even if your ass is still close to the mat...as long as you feel the stretch in the front of your body and you can still take a big breath in. There's a lot more coaching I can give you on this. If you'd like some more instruction, a workshop video or a private session with me, send me a message. ;) I'd love to help you.
