Side Plank Pose - Vasisthasana

From Plank, shift your weight onto your right arm as you roll onto the outside of your right foot.

Keeping both feet flexed, stack the left foot on top of the right with the legs very straight.

Bring the left arm up to the ceiling and the gaze to the left fingertips, coming into Side Plank.

After 3-5 breaths, roll back to the center and do the other side, resting in Downward Facing Dog between the two sides if you like.

If the balance is too difficult, try these supported variations.
