40 Min Upper Body Strength Yoga & Arm Balances | Get Strong With Me

Build upper body and core strength in this 40-minute yoga class. We explore crow pose and its progressions, flying pigeon and grasshopper as part of my Get Strong With Me series. This intermediate yoga practice combines strengthening movements with opportunities to explore balance, weight shifts and learning to fly. We’ll work through: • Upper body and core strengthening • Yoga push-ups and plank-to-Chaturanga transitions • Shoulder strengthening • Crow pose, flying pigeon and grasshopper arm balances Before joining, you should be comfortable in Malasana (a deep yoga squat) and have relatively open hips. If your hips feel very tight, start with my Hip Opening Yoga | Mobility & Flexibility playlist. You don’t need to achieve every arm balance to benefit from the class. Practise the stages that suit you, take breaks when needed and give yourself time to explore. Subscribe to Laura Helm Yoga for more full-length yoga classes, and find more strength-focused practices in my Get Strong With Me playlist. Which arm balance are you working on?
