Yoga Index. Plank Pose

Santolasana Or Dandasana


‘Santolan’ refers to inner composure and ‘danda’ to a staff. So we have a plank where the focus is on core strength.


In traditional Surya Namaskaar this pose used to be ‘Parvatasana’ (mountain); but in modern yoga we have Santolanasana/Dandasana to promote core strength.
