It only takes\u00a0a few minutes a day<\/strong>\u00a0and is proven to work. I\u2019m talking about power posing, and specifically using yoga power poses to give yourself a mental and physical boost.<\/p>\n

You have likely at times\u00a0faced barriers to your success or naysayers doubting your ability. If you are like me, sometimes that naysayer is you!<\/p>\n

When\u00a0presented\u00a0with these\u00a0moments, it is common to slip into self-doubt or lack of confidence. But finding your inner power to push through these\u00a0instances\u00a0is key to continue your path to success.<\/p>\n

Power posing is an effective strategy to\u00a0boost confidence<\/a>\u00a0and inner strength instantly.

A Quick Background<\/strong>\u00a0on Yoga Power Poses<\/h2>\n

Power poses have been present in our society in subtle ways for millennia.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t until 2010 that the\u00a0idea of\u00a0power poses<\/a>\u00a0was classified into a defined practice. The most common power pose is the Wonder Woman stance,\u00a0in which you stand with your hands on your hips and your feet a bit wider than your shoulders\u00a0as you raise your chest towards the sky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Amy Cuddy<\/a>, a social psychologists, did an incredible TED talk (watch below) where she introduces why body language is so important and how we, as women, often tend to make ourselves smaller and less noticed, while our male counterparts take up space and attention. The question at hand is this. Does this body language difference affect not only how others see us, but also how we see ourselves?<\/p>\n

While there has certainly been controversy around the claim that our body language changes how we feel about ourselves, I am 100% a believer in power posing to build confidence.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

The Wonder Woman stance is surely effective and powerful, and yoga power poses take this practice a step further by activating deeper layers of your mind and soul in line with your body to harness your inner confidence and skyrocket your success.<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Yoga Power Poses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yoga power poses are unique because\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0combined\u00a0benefit\u00a0they provide to\u00a0your body, mind, and soul all at the same time. It is\u00a0common to experience moments where your abilities, talent, or knowledge are questioned or doubted. When standing up to these people and situations, it is essential to have a few key tricks and techniques to give you that\u00a0little extra\u00a0boost.<\/p>\n

Yoga practices move through the layers of the body into the mind and soul to harness power from an even deeper place within you. This combined inner power\u00a0builds an unstoppable foundation of strength that will become almost second nature when utilized regularly.<\/p>\n
