Wheel Yoga – Thavathiru Yoga | Aerial Yoga Retreat’s

Wheel Yoga

Wheel Yoga (Yoga Wheel Practice) is a modern style of yoga that uses a specially designed prop — the yoga wheel — to support, deepen, and enhance traditional postures. The wheel helps practitioners safely explore backbends, improve flexibility, strengthen the core, and release tension in the spine.
