PHALAKASANA (Plank Pose)
Planks are a fundamental exercise in yoga and fitness, known for their ability to strengthen the core muscles and improve posture. They can stimulate digestive organs, helping to reduce lethargy and sluggishness often associated with Kapha imbalance.
Steps:
- Start in a push-up position, with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Engage your core muscles and hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breathing deeply.
- To release, lower your knees to the floor and rest in a Child’s Pose.
Phalakasana is not just a core- strengthening pose, it also helps improve posture and balance. This pose can help enhance mental focus and concentration, making it an excellent practice for physical and mental well-being.
