Only have a few minutes to work on your arms? Try this 10-minute practice with Erin Keeley. In this flow, you’ll move through five arm balances and inversions, including crowd-favorite Eka Pada Koundinyasana I (Pose Dedicated to the Sage Koundinya I). You’ll also move through Bakasana (Crane/Crow Pose) and a series of restorative postures between your arm balances.
