yoga fitness

A yoga fitness sequence for arm strength and lateral flexibility. Sequence also stretches the hamstrings, calf muscles and quadriceps strength. In many Sun Salutations there is common flow of Downward Dog forward to Plank pose, Down to 8 Limb pose and up to Cobra pose or Upward Facing Dog pose and finally back to Downward Dog. If you do this too much your back can become sore as a result of the low back muscles and ligaments becoming inflamed from repetitive overstretching and not enough time to heal. You can use the flow without Cobra pose or even add it after you flow through the usual Cobra pose to Upward Dog pose to further strengthen the arms.
