Below are some of the Yoga poses which can strengthen your arm in a very period of time:

Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)

Lie on your Stomach and keep your feet together. Place your hands underneath your shoulders pressing into the mat. Now, slowly lift your torso, while inhaling keeping in mind not to place all the weight onto your hands. Be in this position for some time and make sure your back is straight. Now relax your muscles and lower yourself back onto the ground while exhaling. Work this pose for 2-3 times.

Dolphin Pose (Makarasana)

While lying on your Stomach, slowly lift your hips up, keeping your feet and head down. Stretch the shoulders away from your ears and spread your arms while keeping your hands together and try to stay on your forearms. This is an effective pose for building your muscles.

Forearm Plank Pose

Lie on your Stomach with your hands straight; slowly push yourself up putting all the weight on your forearms and your feet. Place your shoulder just beneath the forearms. Keep your legs straight. Inhale while curling your toes and exhale when lifting your whole body.

Side Plank Pose (Vasisthasana)

Lie down on the mat in a side-ward direction. Now lift your hips, putting all the weight on one hand. Make sure your hips, Knees and ankles are on top of each other, in a straight line. Raise your top arm in an upward direction. Hold it for some time and then change the sides.

Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

While lying on a mat, raise your hips and create “V” shape body upside down. Try to push the floor away from you, shifting more weight into your legs. It helps in strengthening some serious upper body muscles.
