Side Plank
This posture is a real arm and core strengthener, as well as pose that works on balance. From a high plank pose (push up position) roll on the the side of the feet while shifting the weight into one arm. Take the other arm straight up with the shoulders in line with one another. Make certain that you keep your hips lifted and do not let them "sag" as they will have a tendency to do in this posture. I then take my top leg into the position in this photo or the full expression of the posture is to grasp the big toe with the non-supporting arm and taking the arm and leg towards the ceiling. Its also important to take your gaze up to the extended hand and hold the posture for 5 deep breaths before repeating on the other side.
