Backbends with a Yoga Wheel

This wheel is probably my favorite prop. It's a gift I've given so many of my friends who sit at a desk all day. So I figured I'd make a short tutorial on some of the ways I love to use it most for thoracic opening (in other words backbending and heart-opening)
PS Here's the wheel I'm demonstrating with: thebodywheel.com
