In this  session we will take a look at the back bend upward facing bow or wheel (urdhva dhanurasana). As the name suggests, we want to create a smooth arch of the back and avoid any sharp angles that could stress the shoulders and lower back. So we will stretch out the shoulders, armpit chest and front hips and thighs to help smooth the curve and find the beautiful expansion of the front-body, opening the heart and lungs for rich deep breaths.
