Side plank pose (Vasisthasana) - Iyengar yoga

Side plank pose (Vasisthasana) -Named after sage Vasistha, the side plank pose (Vasisthasana) requires strength in the arms along with the capacity to balance on one arm and one leg. In this video we break down the actions required, and we make use of props, in order to better access the first stage of this challenging pose.

The class I refer to in which I teach leg variations in Vasisthasana is listed as "Intermediate - # 198" in my Video Library. https://www.heatherkitchenyoga.com.au...
