 How to strengthen your shoulder with yoga? 

 

 

Yoga is an excellent form of exercise to strengthen your shoulders and improve your overall health. For shoulders that are stronger, try these yoga poses. 

 

Yoga has assisted its practitioners for thousands of years to increase their physical strength, flexibility, and endurance. When it comes to our general health and welfare, our upper body muscles, such as our shoulders, arms, and chest, are crucial. Particularly important are the shoulder muscles because they support a variety of physical motions and safeguard the shoulder joint. 

 

Yoga can therefore be quite beneficial for improving shoulder strength and range of motion. The age-old Indian discipline of yoga combines physical activity with breathing exercises to unite the body and mind. 

  

Yoga practice can increase the range of motion and strength of the shoulder muscles, according to a study from the International Journal of Current Research.
