Helping us with this is yoga teacher and lifestyle and health coach Nikita Parmar, who took to Instagram to share a yoga pose, which she says plays a "huge role in strengthening and toning" her arms and shoulders.
The yoga pose is known as sarvangasana. Nikita explains in her post, "Sarvanga" means "all body parts". This asana provides benefits to the entire body.". While performing sarvangasana, you should try to bring hips and feet in alignment with each other. You need to tuck your elbows in as much as you can. Exhale while you go into the pose, keep breathing while you hold onto the position and inhale as you release from the pose. Women, you can avoid doing this pose in case you are on your period.
