Vasisthasana - Side Plank

• Begin in Plank Pose.
• Place one hand under your face, directly in the center of the mat. Spread your fingers wide and distribute your weight on a four corners of the hand.
• Lift your other hand towards the sky. Don't collapse the bottom shoulder.
• Turn over to the side, balancing on the blade of the lower foot.
• Concentrate on lifting the top hip skyward.
• Breathe.

A typical modification for this pose is to put one knee on the floor. This is excellent for those who do not yet have the strength for a full Side Plank.
