Straight Arm vs. Bent Arm: Unlocking Your Yoga Strength Potential

One of the things you will find is, yes, when you're doing a press, no matter what variety of press you're doing, you're going to feel definitely your entire body working.
Are you curious about the difference between straight arm and bent arm strength in yoga? Brian Aganad, a seasoned yoga teacher and handstand enthusiast, breaks it all down in this episode of The Asana Academy Podcast. He offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and developing both types of strength, each playing a unique role in your practice. Bent arm strength can build the foundational muscles needed for advanced poses, but relying solely on it might stall your progress.
To truly master your practice, Brian suggests testing your strength with a press handstand while focusing on minimizing shoulder movement. This technique not only challenges your muscles but also enhances your control and discipline. With Brian's expert tips and a bit of patience, you'll be well on your way to a stronger, more confident yoga journey. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just starting out, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you elevate your practice.
