Hi all,

I've seen a lot of people doing yoga where they basically balance themselves on their arms and the rest of their body is off the ground. Can't remember the poses, and I certainly don't know what type of yoga it is.

Thanks for the help.

    No matter what excersises you do yoga poses are the best for streaching and learning to be flexible i like to do it on my rest days. I just get it off youtube there are lots of videos you can follow and different lengths

    Those are poses that are incorporated into a vinyasa class. There's so many arm balances and inversions, it's hard to name them all; especially with their sanskrit names.
