Your whole body will feel the burn in Beginner's Sage (also known as Side Plank), so get ready to breathe deep! Kate's a big fan of this arm-activating and balance-challenging posture.
- Begin in a Straight-Arm Plank. Roll over to your left side, and plant your left heel down so you are balancing on the outside edge of your left foot. Stack your right foot on top of your left, flexing both feet. If this is too hard, bend your right knee and place your right foot flat on the ground in front of your left leg for support.
- Reach your right arm up, and gaze at your palm. Stay for five deep breaths, trying to keep your core strong and the pose steady.
- Repeat on the other side for another five breaths.
