Chakrasana (Sanskrit: चक्रासन IAST: Cakrāsana, Wheel Pose) or Urdhva Dhanurasana (Sanskrit: ऊर्ध्वधनुरासन; IAST: Ūrdhvadhanurāsana, "Upward-Facing Bow Pose") is an asana in yoga as exercise. It is a backbend and is the first pose of the finishing sequence in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. It gives great flexibility to the spine. In acrobatics and gymnastics, this body position is called a bridge.
In the general form of the asana, the practitioner has hands and feet on the floor, and the abdomen arches up toward the sky. It may be entered from a supine position or through a less rigorous supine backbend, such as Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose). Some advanced practitioners can move into Wheel Pose by "dropping back" from Tadasana (Mountain Pose), or by standing with the back to a wall, reaching arms overhead, and walking hands down the wall toward the floor.
Advanced practitioners may also follow wheel with any of its variations (listed below), or with other backbends, such as Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana, or by pushing back up to stand in Tadasana.
Tones the arms and shoulder muscles, and stretches the upper front torso. Read More:- www.artofliving.org/us-en/standing-backward-bend-ardha-ch...

Urdhva Mukha Savasana is literally derived from a Sanskrit word Urdhva means upward, mukha means the face and svan translated as a dog. This yoga pose literally resembles like a dog stretching upwards hence it got this name. Urdhva Mukha Savasana is an easy back bending yoga pose that works great on the strengthening of arms, wrist and shoulder.
Urdhva Mukha Savasana is very similar to cobra pose with the only difference is that cobra pose the entire lower body touches the floor and make a deep backbend and in an upward facing dog, the entire lower body from hips and ankle does not touch the floor. This simple and easy backbend yet a powerful pose awaken the whole upper body. It is important to practice this yoga asana on an empty stomach or have a gap of at least 5 to 6 hours gap before your practice.
How to do Urdhva Mukha savasana?
It is the basic level of vinyasa yoga pose that is practiced under the beginner's yoga teacher training in Rishikesh program. To practice this yoga pose lie flat on the belly with your toes touching on the ground and arms resting on either side. Now bend your elbows and place your palms underneath your shoulder near your chest. As you inhale press your palm on the ground and lift your torso, hips and knee of the floor. Make sure that your body weight is evenly distributed over palms and on the top of your feet.
Your gaze should be straight and tilt your head slightly backwards, broaden your shoulder and keep your wrist and shoulders are in alignment. Don’t let your knees drop in and hold the pose for at least good 30 to 60 seconds and then release gently.
Contradiction
Although upward facing dog or Urdhva Mukha Savasana is an easy yoga poses to practice however if you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome or a certain back injury avoid practising this yoga pose. Also, pregnant women should refrain practising this pose.
Modification
If you are a beginner and if you are not able to relax your shoulder properly or you are hunching on your shoulder place a blanket below the top thigh. Press on this roll and place yoga blocks underneath your arms; this will provide support to your lower back and keep your shoulder aligned. Also, if you are facing some problem in gaining a proper alignment practice this yoga pose under the guidance of a certified yoga teacher under the best 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh program.
