Yoga Arm-Balance Poses

Arm balances combine upper-body strength, core control, mobility and precise weight transfer.

How to use this collection

Warm the wrists and shoulders first, practice close to the floor and learn the weight shift before attempting longer holds. Advanced balances benefit from qualified instruction.
