Urdhva Dhanurasana is called The Upward Bow Pose, Backbend, or The Wheel. This pose also has two Sanskrit names: Chakrasana (prounounced chak-ra-sa-na) and Urdhva Dhanurasana. This is a challenging pose.
"Extend your sternum away from your navel." This helps to create length along the front of your body, as in Upward Bow Pose.
"Spread across your collarbones." This establishes breadth across the front of your body, as in Low Cobra Pose.
Most forward-bending postures, such as Dog Pose and the Seated Forward Fold, are done with dog tilt. Most backbends, such as the Locust Pose and the Upward Bow Pose are done with cat tilt.
