Your Whole Upper Body Will Benefit From This Injury-Preventing Yoga Flow

"This is where it will begin to get challenging," Harkness explained, as you warm up the muscles in the arms, chest, shoulders, and core.

• From the last pose, tuck your toes and straighten your legs into a plank position.
• Your wrists should be slightly wider than your shoulders and your legs should be straight.
• Firm up your belly so that it's supporting the middle of your body (no sagging!) and press the ground away through the entirety of the arms.
• Hold this pose for five to seven breaths.
• Do this pose at least three times with one-minute breaks in between. During your break, return to the gentle wrist swirls from pose one.
