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.
Urdhva Dhanurasana strongly opens your chest and shoulders. In backbends the cells of the skin of the front of the torso are moving further and further apart, whereas the cells of the skin of the back of the torso are moving closer together.
