Part 5/8:
Strength and Endurance: Plank Variations
Moving into advanced postures, the session includes holding plank positions on forearms and palms and then advancing into side plank work. These poses provoke a challenge, enhancing core stability while working across different muscle groups in the body.
Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose) is introduced—a primary asana that builds arm strength and core stability. Students are provided alternatives to adapt the sequence according to their personal limits and experience, reinforcing the notion that yoga is a personal journey.
