Thank you for sharing this technique

The first yoga pose to make your shoulders stronger is the cat and cow pose. It warms up your spine and improves your balance. It also stretches your back torso and stimulates the abdominal organs. Further, it eases the stress built up in your shoulders.

The next yoga pose is the Dolphin pose. It is like a downward dog except your elbows are bent and not stretched out.

The third yoga pose is the low plank pose. It is beneficial for your entire body but it strengthens your shoulders because your body weight is supported by your arms.

Two Other Yoga Poses For Strengthening Your Shoulders

The fourth yoga pose to try is the child’s pose. This is a very relaxing pose and once again alleviates the stress in your shoulders.

Lastly, you can try the fish pose. It extends the spine and works on your shoulders because you will try to lift your chest from the ground.

Yoga For Stronger Shoulders

Yoga for stronger shoulders can be an excellent way to prevent and treat shoulder aches. Tight shoulders are a common affliction that can cause pain and strain elsewhere in the body, including the neck and back.

The daily demands of life – from lifting heavy objects to hunching over a computer to carrying a small child – can put too much stress on the shoulders. Fortunately, there are many poses you can do to ease the pain and improve mobility.

The eagle arms pose stretches the muscles in and around the shoulders and opens the chest. To perform the pose, bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the floor. This stretch strengthens the muscles in the upper arm and shoulder area and builds muscle tone.

In addition to a strong core, it opens the chest. Hold the pose for five to 10 breaths, and build up to longer holding periods. The next pose to work on strengthening the shoulders is the plank pose. This is a classic yoga pose where you start on your hands and knees.
