Want to Work Your Arms More in Yoga Class? Try This Vinyasa

You've probably done a Vinyasa the same exact way in every yoga class. You know the drill — come into Plank Position (top of a push-up), bend the elbows while lowering down to Chaturanga, sweep forward into Up Dog, and then press back to Down Dog. Well, no more! Once you try this Vinyasa variation that targets triceps and builds upper-body strength, you'll never be able to do a regular Vinyasa again.

Plank

• Begin in Plank Position with the arms and body straight, shoulders over the wrists. Keep the belly engaged.

Chaturanga

• Exhale to bend the elbows, lowering down to Four-Limbed Staff.

Up Dog

• Inhale to roll forward onto the tops of the feet, sweep the chest forward, and arch the spine, coming into Upward Facing Dog.
