Don’t be fooled by the name of this flow – your entire body is going to be working hard during this flow! This is a challenging flow for the upper body and you will spend a lot of time on your hands.
Focus on Form
If your core is weak, focus on pulling your ribs and hip bones toward each other. It’s better if your butt lifts toward the ceiling a bit rather than your hips and low back collapsing toward the mat. You can spend less time in the plank poses if you struggle. You will get stronger as you practice!
Modifying for Wrist Issues
If you have any wrist issues, you can modify many of the poses by switching to your forearms. I’ll go over how to do this in the video.
Postpartum
Holding plank poses creates a lot of pressure and tension in the core. This is generally not a good thing for a woman recovering from pregnancy and delivery. If you feel strong enough and want to try this flow, start by moving in and out of the plank positions instead of holding them. If you find yourself holding your breath at any point, that means what you are doing is too hard for your body. Don’t worry – you’ll work up to it!
Listen to your body and enjoy!
