Technique Tuesday: Side Plank

Exploring modifications in side plank this Technique Tuesday. Side plank builds endurance as the heart rate rises to hold balance from your crown to your heels, a true full body expression.  Stacking your hand under the shoulder and following that line down to your stacked feet is the standard definition, displayed above.  Let’s now look at ways to safely modify:

Kick standing your bottom leg to alleviate too much pressure on the stacked shoulder.  Top leg is long or could be lifted up as you gain stability. 

Sometimes simply coming down to a forearm can be much more comfortable, less angle and space from your mat. Keep practicing and focus on form and posture as you progressively get stronger. True athletes modify! Give yourself permission today,
