#Journey2Handstand - Day 6 - Side Plank

Plank, Plank, Plank. Today we are working on the Side Plank.  There are MANY variations to this one, but we will begin with a simple scissored feet side plank. We have not done these this month, so take it easy.  If you had a great day of planking yesterday, side planks are a different beast and might be challenging.  We are building up our muscle memory - making ourselves do these poses over and over.  You've got this!  Baby steps!

HERE WE GO:

1. Begin in Plank Pose.
2. Bring your right hand directly under your nose.
3. Shift your weight to the outer edge of your right food and bring your left foot in front - scissor your legs.
4. Take your left hand high toward the sky.
5. As you move the right side of the body slightly forward, draw the left side of the body slightly back - stacking the hips and the shoulders.
6. Let your gaze follow and look up at the sky.
7. Stay here and come back to your six count breaths.  Hold as long as you can.
8. Slowly come back to Plank Pose. You can take a break here, or repeat these directives for the opposite side.
