Instructions

Setup

  1. Start in a quadruped position on your yoga mat, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.

  2. Engage your core muscles firmly.

  3. Tuck your toes and lift your knees approximately 1 to 2 inches off the mat, ensuring your back remains flat like a tabletop.

Execution

  1. While maintaining the static bear plank position, lift one hand off the ground toward your opposite shoulder or leg.

  2. Firmly tap your opposite knee (or simply reach towards it).

  3. Return your hand to the starting position on the floor under your shoulder.

  4. Repeat the movement on the opposite side, alternating hands while keeping your hips steady and minimizing rocking of the torso.
