Learn how to do side plank at any level! Put your knee down if you're new, learn the classic pose, or start to play with variations if you're ready. Side plank requires upper body and core strength, so please work with the bottom knee down if you're newer!
Here are some classes featuring Side Plank Pose.

If you're looking for a full body-and-mind reset, this is for you! We start with grounding and breathing and then head into an energizing, heat-building flow that includes lots of hip, shoulder and hamstring opening along with core strengthening so we can play with poses like koundinyasana 2, side plank variations, full monkey pose and a breakdown of forearm stand among others! Then we have a soothing Yoga Nidra in Savasana. Work hard, sweat hard, rest easy :)

We start chilling in Reclined Bound Angle pose on blocks. The class gradually picks up steam with twists, core work, standing poses and sun salutations. We add more hips, side plank and some balance poses. You are sure to get a full, balanced practice. Enjoy!

This is a deep, slow flow where we will do some strengthening - think goddess pose reps holding a weight if you have one and side plank holds - but these are just fleeting moments of intensity in what is a mostly slow, mindful flow where we have enough time in each pose to really feel our feelings and breathe!

A quick but thorough deep-dive into the hips for days when you're short on time but really want to open. The shoulders and hamstrings get plenty of love, too, but the magic happens in those hips! Enjoy, yogis!

We start with a wide-legged forward bend, and ease into the hamstrings, hips, inner groins and the IT Band. We add some sun salutations, standing poses, core work and the option of an arm balance. Now all heated up and pliable we go into some backbends and cool down with and inversion before savasana. Enjoy!

Get ready to sweat, smile, and move on the breath! For the next 45 minutes we’ll be moving and grooving on the breath count. Don’t worry, it’s not a dance party (unless you want it to be). It’s a vinyasa flow class that will have you feeling like a graceful swan…with the occasional flamingo wobble. Why will you love it, you ask? Well, for starters, you’ll feel like a badass warrior goddess moving on the breath like a pro. Plus, who doesn’t love a good challenge? Moving on the breath count will not only challenge your body, but also your mind. Trust me, by the end of class you’ll be feeling like a yoga ninja. So grab your mat, put on your favorite pair of yoga pants, and get ready to flow like the wind. And if you need a little extra inspiration, just imagine yourself as a graceful flamingo, because let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to be a flamingo doing yoga? Enjoy!

A strong core is essential for feeling grounded, open and comfortable in your own skin. This practice explores and strengthens a strong center so you can find balance in side plank, tripod headstand and traditional headstand and start to engage so you can lift your legs into inversions rather than use momentum.

Ready to open the window of your heart (and also your shoulders, chest, upper back), fire up your core and play with some fun variations? Grab two blocks and a strap and let's go!

Can you get into a totally open mindset about your practice today? Can you work with your body and whatever boundaries it may make known to you as you move, with respect, patience, compassion and understanding? The more you're able to work with the truth of whatever you're dealing with, the more things flow. This is true on your mat (and it's the secret to greater strengthening and opening) and it's true in life! Good to work on ;) This is a fun and energizing flow with some sneaky strengthening slipped in and lots of deep stretching, too! Enjoy yogis!
