It’s not actually possible to make your arms longer but that’s how it feels. Because Yoga combines movements that increase strength AND flexibility we almost feel a lengthening of the body. This is really important.Ī lot of the time if we focus on building strength, we can then feel very tense and tight in the body. The best thing though is at the same time as strengthening your arms you’re also increasing flexibility and mobility in the muscles, joints and fascia of the arms (actually the entire body). Ok onto your question… So Does Yoga tone your arms? Be grateful that you have arms that can hug, that can lift, that can help you move through and experience life. Instead, let’s focus on how amazing your arms are. And I think it’s important to mention that you can NEVER ever spot reduce fat. The other day we got an email asking specifically how to reduce arm fat by yoga. Using Yoga to tone my arms didn’t really cross my mind… until I saw and FELT the transformation Yoga had on my level of strength AND how it toned my arms (not that we ever really focus on toning your body in MerryBody, afterall, you’re already amazing… but hey, it’s a nice by-product of being and feeling strong).Īs I created a consistent yoga practice I really noticed my arm strength increase. When I started Yoga it was because I wanted to get more flexible and I was super intrigued about the ancient philosophy (there really are so many benefits of yoga). I thought the only way to get toned arms and toned muscle was to lift weights and traditional strength training! I was SO wrong. Before I started Yoga I used to lift weights every single day.
