"Arm strength exercises mean so much more than handstands and toned triceps. They're about cultivating stability in any pose, exercise, or life situation that engages your arms, from grounding through your palms in Downward-Facing Dog to the control required in Chaturanga. As your strength grows, so does your capacity to support yourself and balances effort with ease, stability with mobility."
"Chaturanga is one of the most complex postures in yoga and demands awareness. Proper alignment of the shoulders, mobility in the wrists, and strong engagement of the biceps and triceps are necessary to practice it safely and powerfully. How to: 1. From hands and knees or Plank Pose, stack your shoulders over your wrists and ground down strongly through your palms into the mat."
Arm strength practice develops stability, control, and balance for yoga poses and everyday movements that engage the arms. Short routines can be added to a yoga practice or performed after workouts to increase arm strength and stability with minimal time. Each pose challenges alignment, awareness, and patience while balancing effort with ease and mobility. Chaturanga requires precise shoulder alignment, wrist mobility, and strong biceps and triceps engagement with controlled lowering to the ribcage and optional sternum block. Side Plank targets the triceps and serratus anterior and enables unilateral arm strengthening.
