Some Dope yogis bust a wheel on a rotting bench in Durango

in yoga •  9 years ago 

What you see here is Wheel Pose, Chakrasana. 

This being done on a bench, that is rotting and falling apart. Fresh out of the car, five hour drive behind us, be bust out some dope wheel poses to show off and feel good. The bench was impressed. This was on this past weds, 7-20-16.

Wheel Pose is typically a pose to work up to in a practice session. Do it stiff and sore and with car seat ass only if you just want to bust out on the scene. 

Wheel Pose as it often goes by in Inglés, has at least a few names. 

Chakrasana  This comes from the ancient version of the Kundalini tradition (among others) 

Urdhva dhanurasana This comes from the contemporary practices such as Ashtanga (the branded version)

Several of the traditions make the claim it links the chakras of the energy body. The number of these chakras varies between traditions with 6,7,9 and 11 major centers being common. 

Peace, drink gong-fu tea

Jai Bhagwan people

By the way Durango Colorado, while touristy, is in a phenomenal place to hang out as you rest from the road. Mingle with the families that walk the shopping strip and duck into the alleyways to meditate and play.
