Arm Balance Yoga Poses

Arm balances hold the body up on the hands or forearms. They depend more on core strength, wrist preparation and confidence than on flexibility. Warm the wrists first, put a cushion in front of you while you learn to tip forward, and build up from Plank and Crow before the inversions.
