Hey friends! Let’s take a moment to talk about one of my favorite yoga poses, the Side Plank. It’s not only a fantastic way to strengthen your core, but it also helps improve balance and stability. Plus, it’s a great way to clear your mind, right?

How to Get into Side Plank

To get into the Side Plank, start by lying on your side with your legs stacked on top of each other. Prop yourself up on your forearm, ensuring your elbow is directly under your shoulder. Then, lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your feet. You can keep your other arm reaching up towards the sky or rest it on your hip. Don’t forget to breathe! Hold this position for as long as you can, feeling that burn in your obliques.
