Plank Pose

Description

Get into a low plank on the floor, on your forearms, with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your toes on the floor. Lift your knees off the floor by engaging your trunk, glutes, and legs to maintain alignment between your head, pelvis, and heels. Keep your neck long and your gaze directed toward the floor, without arching your lower back or raising your pelvis. Hold the position for the duration indicated by your physical therapist, maintaining constant engagement of your whole body.
