Plank is one of the most foundational poses in yoga for lots of good reasons. Each time you visit this pose, you’ll build abdominal strength and power in your arms and wrists. You’ll also strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine, which improves posture.
The benefits of this posture aren’t just physical. Plank Pose also builds mental endurance and deep focus. 😌
Holding the pose when your arms start to shake is a powerful reminder that you can tackle challenges both on and off the mat.✨
