The Plank

Hi Everyone,

I would really recommend building this little sequence into your daily practice, to tone up after the holidays!!!!! Even starting with just plank and holding that for 5 breaths, than moving into side plank with the top arm up looking at your hand, to work on your balance and strength. If that goes all ok than you can do the final version of lifting the top leg up and holding it in your hand. Most of all have fun working towards that last version. don’t be surprised and laugh when you loose your balance the first few times. Its great to work towards something in a few weeks and suddenly finding yourself able to do it. Great for confidence and a feeling of achievement.

The poses I demonstrate here are:

plank pose

side plank / vasisthasana

Enjoy,

Esther
