In this one‑minute yoga teacher‑training video, the instructor demonstrates how to deepen a low (crescent) lunge using a yoga wheel. The sequence begins with a high lunge, then the back knee is lowered, the toe is pointed, and the wheel is placed alongside the back thigh. The wheel is pressed into the quadriceps and psoas to increase the stretch while providing extra stability. A counterpose follows: the practitioner grabs the wheel, sits back onto the heel, and folds forward over the wheel, then returns to standing and repeats on the opposite side. The video ends with a call to follow for more yoga‑teaching tips.

Grab your wheel because in today's 1 Minute Yoga Teacher Training, we're going to intensify our low lunge. Have your students bring one leg back and one leg forward. Now we're in a high lunge. We're going to take the back knee and bring it down to the ground, point the toe back, roll the wheel right up next to the quad, and then use it to press into As you begin to feel the stretch deep in that quadricep, deep in the psoas. Now we can stay here a little bit longer because we have extra stability because of the wheel. For a nice counterpose before you switch sides, come down, grab onto the wheel, bring it forward. As you sit back onto your heel, use the wheel to fold forward. Coming back up, we'll switch sides. Make sure you do both sides of your crescent lunge, and make sure that you follow for more yoga teacher tips.
