Physical practice
Safe strengthening, deep stretching and releasing massage of muscles and fascia.
Wheel Yoga® · since 2017 · back with its author
The original yoga wheel method returns as a 20-hour certified instructor training that links strength, mobility and fascia work with physiotherapy and psychology.
Wheel Yoga® teaches you to use the yoga wheel both as an everyday prop and as a specialised tool.
Every session connects practical movement with knowledge from physiotherapy and psychology. You learn what the wheel does to muscles, fascia and the nervous system, and how to adapt it to the person in front of you.
The method was created by Jana Schwalb, who also wrote the expert study behind it. Its movements are named by what the body does: extension, opening, strength, balance, release.
Twenty hours, held under the auspices of the Vitale.spa association. You leave able to teach the wheel safely, to adapt it to very different clients, and to use it in work with the nervous system.
Safe strengthening, deep stretching and releasing massage of muscles and fascia.
How to adapt a class to the individual needs of very different clients.
Practical use of the wheel with clients with ADHD and autism, and within a trauma-informed approach: calming the body and working with trauma.
Jana Schwalb develops Wheel Yoga® and writes the expert study behind it.
Together with her business partner at the time, she sells the system.
Jana buys Wheel Yoga® back, now with a new partner, Kateřina Hrubešová.
The first training of the new era: 24–25 April at Studio Moksha.
The wheel came full circle. Same author, a new partner, and fresh evidence in every module.
