DESCRIPTION
Vasisthasana, or Side Plank, provides a wonderful side stretch, but it is a challenging yoga asana. It requires strength and balance. Most yogis need to build up to it, by doing variations that provide a little support, such as “knee down”, or “kickstand” versions. But once the body is strong enough to get into it and hold it, it is time to have fun and do variations like the ones shown here.
As a yoga photographer, I love how Vasisthasana accentuates back muscles, and make them pop out for the camera.
