Uttihita Chaturanga Dandasana, or plank pose, will help you build the strength and stability to successfully hold and transition to many other poses. Place your palms flat on the ground directly underneath your shoulders with your fingers facing forward and extend your legs out to balance on your toes as if you were about to do a push-up. Keeping your neck and hips in line with your spine, concentrate on drawing your navel in towards your spine and contracting your leg and arm muscles towards the sky for stability.

 

Benefits:

–Strengthens shoulders, arms, and wrists

–Tones abdominal and back muscles

–Stretches and strengthens the spine
