Step 1:

Lie down on your back with hands on the side.

Step 2:

Bend your knees and bring your heels as close to the buttocks as possible. The heels should be about 1 foot apart.

Step 3:

Now raise your hands and bring it back next to the ears. Place the palms on the floor with the fingers pointing towards the shoulders.

Step 4:

Lift your body up with the support of the palms and the feet.

Step 5:

Rotate the head slightly, so that your gaze is towards the floor.

Step 6:

Stretch your thighs and shoulders. In the final position your body looks like an arch, almost like a wheel.

Step 7:

Maintain this position, according to your capacity.

Step 8:

To release the position, lower your body till it touches the ground. Straighten your legs. Hands can go back to the original position to the sides.

Step 9:

Chakrasana should be followed by forward bending poses to counteract the pressure created by the back bend.

Step 10:

Chakrasana should be avoided by those suffering from cardiac ailments, high blood pressure, vertigo and those who have undergone recent surgeries.
