This illustration depicts Urdhva Dhanurasana, commonly known as Wheel Pose, a demanding backbend in modern yoga that strengthens the arms, wrists, legs, and spine while improving spinal mobility and stimulating the heart and lungs. The pose requires engagement of the core and glutes to lift the pelvis, with the head relaxed and gaze toward the floor. It is often used in vinyasa and ashtanga sequences to build heat and counter forward bends.
