Pushing up into wheel pose is my white whale....something I have been working to accomplish for a while. I always get stcuk on the crown of my head and just cannot make that final move into the full pose. I came pretty close today with this practice, though, so thank you for the tips! I will keep at it!
HI Catherine ! I love the "white whale" comment ;) and it's fitting, bc I often talk with my students about how (for many of us) wheel is one of those postures you have to really "earn"...it takes time, patience, perseverance, and most importantly~ enthusiasm! Happy practicing!
