A yoga instructor says this overlooked yoga pose can help increase grip strength
You can build and improve grip strength using this overlooked yoga pose, says a yoga instructor.
Melissa Leach, a yoga instructor and strength and conditioning coach with Yoga-Go, suggests an overlooked yoga pose that can help increase grip strength. Grip strength, often overlooked, is a key indicator of longevity, with studies linking weaker grip strength to a 45% higher risk of death. Leach highlights the crow pose (Kakasana) as an effective yoga pose for improving grip strength without requiring any equipment.
By shifting weight onto hands and lifting feet, the pose engages fingers, wrists, and forearms, promoting functionality and balance. Modifications are available for beginners, such as using a wall or block for support and gradually increasing the duration of the pose.
