Perfecting Your Yoga Plank Pose May Improve Your Posture

There's no shortage of information on the many benefits of yoga on the mind and body — it's a useful tool for increasing mindfulness, therapy, and rehabilitation. So whether you're attending regular classes or rolling out your mat in the living room, it's important to ensure you're practicing your poses in ways that will benefit your body the most.

No matter your skill level, one of the most important poses for any yogi is plank (in all of its many variations). If your yoga goals look anything like the pair we posted about recently, who perfected their acrobatic yoga on a mountain's edge (and yes, it's as impressive as it sounds), then you absolutely must perfect a powerful core.

The Huffington Post would like to help you with that. In a new video from its Thrive series, their seasoned yogi helps iron out all the kinks that may be inhibiting you from getting the most out of this powerful pose. And the best part? Practicing plank pose correctly may work to improve your posture. Being mindful of the way that you're sagging or misaligning will help improve your experiences both on and off the mat, and makes yoga an all the more engaging activity.
