Yoga Wonder Wheel -- Yoga mats and blocks have been around for decades, but the Yoga Wonder Wheel™ by YOGABODY is the latest addition to any at-home practice room or yoga studio that will help you take your postures to the next level. Deep, awe-inspiring backbends are what draw most people to the Wonder Wheel initially, but backbends are just the beginning. You'll also build balance, core strength, release tension, and find ways to practice challenging poses that are otherwise inaccessible.

The Wonder Wheel was designed for use in YOGABODY's professional yoga studios and training centers in Barcelona, Spain, so it's bigger, stronger, lighter, and backed by an unmatched warranty compared with any other wheel on the market. On top of that, it's less expensive and comes with a complete at-home DVD so you can get rolling in minutes.

0:00.0	Today's yoga talk show is brought to you by the Wonder Wheel. The Wonder Wheel is our new yoga wheel by
0:05.1	yoga body and our wheels are different from other wheels on the market in that they are huge,
0:10.0	they're lightweight and they're competitively priced. We're trying to keep our wheels
0:14.1	affordable so that studios can use them as well. That was our big problem. We
0:17.4	wanted to use them in group classes in my studios and these crazy wheels on the
0:20.5	market were costing over $100 just seemed kind of ridiculous. So we spent a long time in development. We want to make something that was strong and durable, big and light because we need to stack 30 of them in the corner of my yoga studio. And I'm really happy with what we came up with.
0:32.8	It's called the Wonder Wheel.
0:33.8	If you're wondering why you would use a wheel for yoga,
0:36.0	there's a whole bunch of things you can do,
0:37.4	but really we use it specifically in our balance classes.
0:40.4	We use it to develop proprioception,
0:42.4	which is where you have body awareness and you're developing balance and stability
0:46.8	Specifically in vulnerable joints like your knees
0:49.2	The other thing that we use it for which is really powerful are pike planks and flying planks where we put our feet up on the wheel and we crunch in and surprisingly you can fry your abs very very quickly. So check out the wonder wheel in our store go to
1:03.8	shop.yogobody.com shop dotyogbody.com and you'll see the wonder wheel
1:08.1	there. People are often trying to draw hard lines in the sand between natural and
1:16.6	pharmaceutical medicine, natural and pharmaceutical remedies and it's pretty
1:21.9	arbitrary at the end of the day I mean arsenic is
1:24.2	natural you know cocaine comes from cocoa leaves natural unnatural I don't know
1:29.8	natural stuff can kill you synthetic stuff can you. I think the better question to ask is
1:36.3	efficacy, safety, and then intelligent use. When does it make sense? Does it make sense to take anti-inflammatory drugs
1:44.3	something like an Advil for 10 years? Probably not. Does it make sense to take a
