Plank isn’t about strength.
It’s about alignment.

⭐️ Shoulder stability
⭐️ Load transfer
⭐️ Core-to-limb connection

01/13/2026

Prioritizing deep core engagement is crucial across yoga postures, especially as we build plank pose. A stable, engaged core supports strong transitions, protects the spine, and allows strength to develop without unnecessary strain.

Maintain a subtle pelvic tuck to keep the pelvis neutral and prevent excessive arching in the low back. Gently brace the abdominals toward the midline, drawing the navel in and up to support the spine and reduce pressure on the low belly and pelvic floor.

This weekend we rolled, released, and reconnected.
Participants explored how to use the foam roller for effective myofascial release and core stabilization, blending guided movement with Pilates-based principles. The result… less tension, improved mobility, better posture, and a deeper sense of body awareness.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, see you at the next one 💫

If plank feels shaky or painful, check your hands. You may be gripping with your fingers and sinking into your wrists instead of spreading the weight through your palms.

Plank isn’t just a core pose—your hands create the foundation. Active hands = a more supported, stable body.

Yoga isn’t one body type, one gender, or one look.

🦅 Wrapping, squeezing, wobbling… then finding stillness.

Eagle Pose asks for strength and surrender something we all work on.

Wind-Removing Pose (Pavanamuktasana)
& it’s benefits

🌟 Improves digestion
Gently compresses the abdomen, massaging the digestive organs and helping relieve gas, bloating, and sluggish digestion.

🌟Releases low-back tension
The knees-to-chest shape lengthens the lumbar spine and sacrum, easing tightness from standing, sitting, or core work.

🌟Calms the nervous system
The curled, supported position signals safety to the body, encouraging the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response.

🌟Balances energy (Apana Vayu)
Supports the downward-moving energy responsible for elimination, grounding, and release helpful when feeling scattered or restless.

🌟Reduces hip and pelvic tension
Softens the hip flexors, glutes, and pelvic area, which can hold stress and emotional residue.

Plank isn’t about how long you hold it, it’s about how you’re holding it.
Different planks serve different bodies and intentions. Knees down doesn’t mean easier.
Toes tucked or untucked changes the work.
One leg back builds strength without strain.
Meet your body where it is and build from there.

Each month, we explore a different posture in Vinyasa class. Join us in January as we explore the strength, alignment, and intention of plank pose.

Plank Pose is a foundational posture that supports and transitions into many others, including Chaturanga, Crow, and arm balances. It builds strength and alignment and commonly appears as a linking pose in vinyasa sequences. It looks simple, but it’s an active pose that teaches how to support the body with alignment and breath.

Key Alignment Points:
🌟 Shoulders are stacked over the wrists and the balls of the feet are pressing into the
mat to keep the heels pointing upward.

🌟 The shoulder blades are protracted and moving way from each other to keep a broad
upper back and avoid sinking into joints.

🌟Tailbone is tucked in slightly to avoid piking up from the hips and keep the front of the pelvis neutral.

🌟Core is engaged to hold a stable plank and assist with weight distribution across hands
and feet.

We look forward to practicing with you.
