#SummerFunYoga Day 2


#SUMMERFUNYOGA CHALLENGE. Day 2 - #Plank. This posture, as well as its sister, low plank, are the building blocks / foundation of any arm balances. Building strength in your core, your back, and your arms! Really focus on using your deep abdominal muscles to support your body's midsection / try not to dump or drop into your low back. If you're finding that to be the case - drop down to your knees and know that you are getting the same benefits in your modification! Stack your shoulders above your wrists. I like to do a slight external rotation of my hands because that feels lovely for my chest and shoulders, all ten fingers spread nice and wide, and grounding through your finger tips and palms. Try your best to not lock out your elbows / hyper extend your arms. Micro-bends are a lovely thing to have in your practice. Yes it'll take a little more work to keep your body up but it's much safer on your joints! ☀
