Plank Party
Vinyasa Flow
•
35m
Usually when we do a Sun Salutation we don't hold the Plank Pose (Phalakasana) for very long before lowering to the ground. This is perfectly fine, especially if your wrists don't really like Plank, but it doesn't help to build your strength and endurance. In this Sun Salutation class you'll hold the Plank for around a count of 5. You have the option to come out of the pose before that, however, allowing you to build up slowly over time and with repeated practice. There is a warm-up round then in the following 4 rounds there's a different exercise to do in Plank each time which will challenge your core as well as your arm strength. Expect to work hard and get warm.
Props required: None.
Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.
