This minimalist line drawing depicts Urdhva Dhanurasana, or Wheel Pose, where the practitioner lies supine, places hands and feet on the floor, and lifts the hips into a deep spinal arch. The pose emphasizes shoulder extension, hip flexion, and thoracic mobility, making it foundational in Ashtanga and Vinyasa practices. It’s often used to counteract forward-slouching postures and energize the nervous system.
