Yoga for Strength Challenge - Day #2
Hey Yogi,
Welcome to Day #2 of your Yoga for Strength Challenge!
The theme for Day 2 is: Arms!
We'll be working the shoulders (deltoids) and arms (triceps) a lot in this class.
Quick tip: When supporting your own weight in a pose such as side plank or any pose where you are bearing weight in your hands, it is most effective to do so by bone stacking. This is the idea of positioning or ‘stacking’ your joints on top of each other in a pose eg shoulders over elbows over wrists.
Because your bones are a lot stronger than your muscles, it is more efficient (and easier!) to use your bone strength to hold your weight rather than relying on your muscles. This will also protect your wrist joints!
Give it a go throughout this class. If a pose seems difficult or heavy, notice if you are using bone stacking and adjust your position so you can have shoulders over wrists and arms super super straight!
Okay, let’s do this!
