Dolphin Plank pose is a modified version of plank pose, practiced with the forearms flat on the mat. Dolphin Plank pose is a challenging core strengthening pose, that also works the arms, thighs and glutes. Dolphin Plank pose is typically practiced as part of power yoga or Vinyasa flow class.

Begin from a hands and knees posture. Lower the forearms, one-at-a-time onto the mat. Come onto the toes, as for Dolphin pose. Walk the feet back, until the shoulders are over the elbows and the torso is parallel to the mat. Press the forearms and elbow into the mat. Draw the shoulders down and against the back. Lengthen the tailbone towards the feet and stretch into heels, while lifting the front thighs towards the ceiling. Keep the throat soft and stretch the head away from shoulders. Eye gaze is on the mat.

To exit the pose, release the knees to floor and push back to child pose or hand-and-knees pose. Repeat 2 more times, holding the pose for 20-30 seconds.
