Yoga for Upper Body Strength

January 21, 2019 By mariahwhiteyoga

Welcome to your yoga class for upper body strength, where we’re focusing on leaning into what we “think” we can’t do.

For the longest time, I was that girl in gym class who could barely do one push up. ONE push up. I kept telling myself that I simply couldn’t do it.

I had skinny arms (oh wait, I still do…).

I didn’t have “strong upper body strength” in my genetics.

Blah blah blah.

I made up excuses when I actually just didn’t want to put in the work.

Can anyone relate here?

And what do you think finally happened once I started to work on what I was “bad” at? I got stronger.

All of the sudden, I was able to do 20 pushups in a row.

Why? Because I just kept moving forward. I stopped telling myself I was bad at something.
