Yoga for Men

As a great yoga position for upper body strength and balance, this position works great as a step up to further poses that require more upper body control, especially in the arms. It acts as a great strengthener for the arms and spine and helps promote straighter posture. It is much like that of doing pushup but is much more based on a static hold. It is a goods for practice so you can get into more challenging arm balances.

The key to this one is to get you body into a elevated and completely straightened position. You want to maintain a straight line from the balls of your feet to the top of your head. You also want to try and have your arms as perpendicular and straight as you can from your body without locking your elbows to hard. This helps improve your balance and is a great fitness exercise as well. For more advanced use try lifting one leg up and holding it and then alternating them.
