Upward Plank Pose is an intermediate inversion that stretches the arms, wrist, and shoulders as well as the legs, chest, and front ankles. Some preparatory postures to Upward Plank Pose include Reclining Hero Pose and Bow Pose. Yogi’s with wrist and neck injuries use caution.
To do an Upward Plank Pose, sit in Staff Pose with the hands on the outside of the hips. Next, bend the knees and place the feet on the floor, push through the hands, then lift the hips into Reverse Table Top. Once comfortable in Reverse Table Top, extend the legs out one by one balancing on the heels.
