Try side plank pose variation to lose weight from your entire body

Steps to perform

• Lie flat on your tummy on the floor or your yoga mat.
• Place your palms next to your face and bend your feet so that the toes are pushing off the ground.
• Push off your hands and raise your buttock into the air and get into adho mukha svanasana or the downward facing dog pose.
• Once here, inhale and lower your torso so that your arms are perpendicular to the floor, and your shoulders and chest are directly over your arms.
• Then slowly shift your weight to your right hand.
• Then rotate your torso and raise your left hand, bend your left knee and grab your toes with your left hand. Balancing your weight on your right hand, raise your left leg up.
• To release, slowly lower your left back and come back to the plank position. Then repeat it on the other side.

Word of caution

• Avoid this pose if you have any arm shoulder or wrist injury.
• Also, first perfect the side plank pose before getting to this pose or you might injure yourself.
• Do not perform this side plank variation if you are pregnant or are menstruating.
