4/5/2023 0 Comments Yoga wheelThe Dharma Yoga Wheel is the brainchild of Sri Dharma Mittra and his son, Yogi Varuna. Heck, there's even a DYW teacher training in the works. But the trend factor aside, what's the deal with the wheel? Can it really strengthen and support your backbend practice? And can you use it for other types of poses as well? Wait, what exactly is a yoga wheel? And even if you're not into Instagram (or late '90s pop stars), you might have noticed a yoga wheel or two showing up at workshops, festivals, or even in class. So much so that even celebrities have been Instagraming their wheel-inclusive asana practices. Turns out it's the Dharma Yoga Wheel, and turns out it's everywhere. Curious (especially since backbends are the category of pose that tend to be most challenging for me), I decided to do a little internet sleuthing to find out what this magical backbend-enhancing apparatus was. Sometimes it was just sitting there in the background other times it was used as a backbend tool/support. A couple of months ago, I began to notice a curious looking circular device showing up regularly in the photos of a bunch of yoga practitioners I follow on Instagram.
