Position yourself on the floor on hands and knees with wrists directly under shoulders, fingers facing forward. Place the yoga wheel on the floor under your shins. Contract your core and draw your legs in and upwards, keeping them straight, so that the wheel moves from your shins to feet, glutes lifting toward the ceiling.
