Then, use your hands to press your feet together as you lean forward, extending your spine. Hold the pose for 30 seconds to a minute, then release and repeat as needed.
The cobbler’s pose is a great way to stretch your hips and inner thighs. It also helps to improve flexibility and circulation in the lower body.

Having strong arms is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it can also help you in your yoga practice. There are a few poses in particular that require arm strength in order to hold the pose correctly and get the most out of it.
One such pose is Downward Dog. Downward Dog is a great pose to strengthen your arms, as well as your core and legs. To do Downward Dog, start in a tabletop position.

Another pose that requires arm strength is Triangle pose. Triangle pose is a great pose for stretching your hamstrings and opening your chest.
