My favourite arm balances

Arm balances are challenging. The trick is to keep practicing and in time, the balancing poses becomes second nature to you. For most arm balancing poses, draw the belly in towards the spine, squeeze the pelvic floor muscles and lift, shift your body weight forward.

Ukatasana (Chair Pose)

I love putting Ukatasana, chair poses into the vinyasa flow. It stretches the chest, shoulders, arms , tones the lower part of the body , and reduces flat feet. To deepen the pose, drop the hips down slightly lower, working through the heels. Make sure the knees stays behind the toes. Remember to tuck in the tailbone and breathe.
