Plank Yoga Pose
Type of yoga pose: arm balance.
Benefits: the pose allows to strengthen your arms and spine. It also helps prepare for more challenging arm balances.
How to do this yoga pose:
1. From Downward Facing Dog pose you need to bring your torso forward so that your shoulders were over your wrists and all your body represented one straight line. This pose reminds the position you would have been in if you were going to do a push up.
2. Then you need to press your forearms and hands firmly down. Notice that your chest shouldn’t sink and press back through the heels.
3. Now you are to have your neck at the same level with the spine and broaden the shoulder blades.
A note for beginners: you should balance between Downward Dog and Plank poses so that the distance between your hands and feet was the same.
A note for advanced: you can try to lift one leg at times.
