Dolphin Plank Pose works on the entire body, toning and strengthening our arms, legs, and core muscles. It prepares us for advanced yoga asanas, especially the Dolphin Pose.
Core Strength
Crane/Crow Pose (Bakasana/Kakasana)
In this pose, the body resembles a crane dabbling in the water. While practicing this asana we balance the weight of the body on our arms. This helps in toning and strengthening the arms, wrists, and shoulders.
Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana)
Cow Face Pose stretches the arms, shoulders, chest, and triceps and at the same time, it activates various muscle groups in the legs as well.
Cow Pose (Bitilasana)
Cow Pose is often practiced as the counter-pose of the Cat Pose. These two poses work towards gently loosening up the spine and releasing tension in the neck and shoulders areas.
Chair Pose (Utkatasana)
Chair Pose is a standing pose that works on the entire body, strengthening the arms, shoulders, back, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles. Specifically, it activates the thigh muscles because while practicing this asana we have to sit on an imaginary chair with our arms lifted up.
