Many people tell me, “My back is flexible, still I am not able to do Chakrasan.” The reason is not always the back. Most of the time, the issue is shoulder mobility and arm strength.
Chakrasan is not only about bending the spine. You need open shoulders, strong arms, and good support from the upper body to lift yourself up properly. If shoulders are tight, the chest will not open well. If arms are weak, the body will struggle to push up.
That is why working on shoulder mobility is very important. When shoulders open nicely, your posture becomes smoother and lifting up feels easier. It also helps reduce extra pressure on the lower back.
Arm strength is equally important. Strong shoulders, triceps, wrists, and upper back give you the power to press the floor and hold the posture with control. Flexibility alone is not enough here.
So in this reel, I have shared 3 simple movements for those people whose back is already flexible but still they cannot come into Chakrasan. Practice these movements regularly and you will feel the difference.
Do not rush the posture. First prepare the body, then the posture will come naturally.
Remember, Chakrasan is not only flexibility. It is flexibility plus strength plus mobility working together.
Stay regular with practice and results will come.
