Gentle Yoga - Restorative Yoga - Yoga for Golfers™

Plank it your way!

2 min video - 3 options for side planks
​Today, I am offering you a quick tutorial video describing three ways to perform side planks safely. Side planks, when done properly, help strengthen the obliques. Like any other muscle in the body, the obliques, located on both sides of the abdomen, have many functions, one of them being to help with torso rotation. For my fellow golfers, you can only imagine how important that function is for an efficient golf swing. 
​They also play an important role in transferring power, during the kinetic chain of our golf swing, from the hips to the torso. The traditional side plank demands a deep flexion in the wrists as well as the ability to stabilize the supporting shoulder. This can be a challenge for people with wrists and/or shoulders restrictions.

In this short video, I am hopeful you will find an option that works for your own body. You can opt to flow with the breath, as I am demonstrating in the options 2 and 3, or to simply hold for 30 seconds on each side. As always, breathe deeply, move slowly, and enjoy!
