Yoga For Upper Body Strength | 13-Minute Home Yoga

13 minutes, my friends. Today’s new practice is short and invites your Sadhana in with a certain kind of magic. Are you in?

Out from your body, in towards your body :)

If you have pain in your shoulder doing pull ups or push ups this video may not be for you.

The push up edition 😖

My wrists hurt

Got a terrible cramp on my right upper thigh at the end there 🤣 ouchy. I couldn't cross sit after that but I'm alive and I'll be doing it again. Feelin' pumped & cramped all at once 😂

Awesome, thanks a lot (once again)! 🙏

I collapsed and started crying, my wrists cannot support these poses. I have a new job starting next week that requires lots of upper body strength. I need to get stronger. I suppose a trip to the gym might be in order. I hope I can do this one day.

I’ve done this about 5 times now and it’s getting easier. I feel like I can do 2/10 of a press up, rather than 1/10 as it was initially. I’ll take that as great progress. Feeling good. Glad it’s only a 12 min thing 😂

My arms are on fire

Brilliant ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for your continued care and guidance 😊🖤🖤🖤

ouchhhh my wrists

👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much Adriene. You really are a blessing 🙌🏾you're one of the main reasons I keep up with the Yoga 🧘🏾‍♀️

As someone whos never done yoga, and thought my upper body strength was more than it is. I did a full plank during the first three, then had to do a half plank for the next ones. Horror was on my face when we needed to do a full plank. Trying to boost up my strenght in general so thank you Adriene!

Really struggled with this one.

Do you recommend doing this everyday if I'm working on strengthening my arms? Thank you!

i didnt even know i could do so many half push ups

Exactly what I was looking for this morning. Yoga with the windows open, rainstorm outside, getting ready to go to work. Perfection!

Love all the comments that were exactly what I was thinking 😅

I did everything half plank. And coukd not do the side planks at all. But I will keep going. 😂

Is it normal that my wrists hurts? I broke them as a kid. I'm fine with the half exercise thing, but the last part I had my wrist giving up on me. I slipped like a fool. I laughed it off, but just wondering. Anyways thanks for sharing :)

Damn im weak 😂

Sharp, and simple can't believe I did that many push ups 😂😊🙏

Excellent class!

love it, it was too hard for me but that exactly the reason to improve. Your beginner excercises really toned down my legs/butt. Like legit, no joke. However I did feel the need to incorporate some more upperbody strenght because thats the part that gives in easily. This will help being incorporated into the routine.

Damn that’s harder than a Pamela Reif workout

Great short class. My goal is a 2 minute plank. I've done it before. This video will certainly help me achieve this goal. I like the tap shoulder part.

I just did this for the first time and I can’t believe it that I did so many push-ups!

How do you stop your wrists from hurting like hell in plank?? My core isn't enjoying it much but my wrists (and my knees in half) hate it even more. It's frustrating because I know I could do way more without breaks if I didn't have to keep going back into child because my hands are screaming

Shaking in plank is always good its all heart to flow by it. Can finally focus on the breath instead of losing my level mind. Thanks for everything Decided finally to minor in yoga. Im at that point.summer semester back to school. 100% YWA since my first mat. I was first introduced to it in a veterans hospital but, it was chair yoga. Thanks again A! Namaste❤😅😊🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄🎉🙏🏽🧙‍♂️

❤

"Nice job Benji!" Thanks Adriene. Three of us got totally pitted and sweaty this morning.

I was able to stick with it until the little twisty thing at the end and that was not a possibility for my wrists. I’m so surprised I made it all the way to the very end except for that. Excellent, challenging work out.❤

I love this! only in a few sessions of repeating this, my arms feel stronger and I am able to do pushups better. Thanks and heart to you!

Mind-body connection, I am feeling you!

<3

having a rough time graduating to full plank pushups but I'll keep trying

Excellent

Follow up with...? I think I missed or can't find which practices to follow this up with. TY!

Oh wow!! I can't believe I was able to do this. I struggled, but got through it ! Keep showing up, beautiful people!

What does Adrienne mean when she says take it left to right when doing the push-ups.

Thanks!

After a round of Move, I jumped around to see what other kinds of flows were available. Move had me thinking about my own mindfulness quite a bit and this particular segment required me to tap into that mantra from one of the days in Move "my breath is my anchor, my anchor is my breath," because I was shaking my life away during these 13 minutes lol. The floor was there for me tho :) I can't wait to try this one (and other practices) again and use the "shake factor" to determine how much I've grown in the poses, or in this case in the pushups.

Always worth my time! Thank you Adrienne!

"Let's do one more on each side try not to move the hips at all" me shaking, gasping and collapsed in a ball

Done on:

+7/26/2022 (really hard for me this first time)

I have wrist problems, but this definitely helps me with getting my strength back
