The name \u201cChakrasana\u201d comes from the Sanskrit words \u201cChakra\u201d which means the wheel, and the meaning of Asana is \u201cPosture\u201d or \u201cseat\u201d.<\/p>

Chakrasana or the wheel pose is a backward bending yoga asana. Chakra in Sanskrit means Wheel. In Wheel Pose, the final position looks like a wheel, hence the name. It gives great flexibility to the spine. It is called chakrasana since the body takes almost a wheel-like, semi- circular posture while performing this asana.<\/p>
