For some reason chakrasana came very easy to me

right from the beginning . . . every dog has his day

(easy posture) in this practice!<br><br>If you're new

to this posture, I'd suggest setting up your hands

under your shoulders a la urdhva dhanurasa, bring your

legs carefully over into halasana, and then, press

with all your might to elevate yourself off the mat

continuing the roll.<br><br>You have to press very hard. If

that doesn't work, press harder. Once you get that

bit, then momentum and coordination will follow.

Another cakrasana tip, this one from Richard

Freeman:<br><br>You exhale as you finish your pose, lying on your

back on the floor (e.g. finishing supta hasta

padangusthasana). Then, while empty, begin to swing your legs up,

beginning the inhale as your legs pass 30 degrees (bandhas

on!). The act of inhaling propels your feet back over

your head, and it's just a little push with the hands

(deceptively, not as much as you would think!) to flip right

over.<br><br>When practiced fluidly, there is no real break in the

breath, between exhale and inhale. Rather, the upward and

backward motion of the inhale grows organically out of the

nothingness at the end of the exhale.
