In this tutorial, Rachel breaks down the important alignment points to practice plank pose safely. By learning these fundamentals, you will also learn how to prepare your shoulders for more complex poses such as chaturanga, inversions, and hand balances. 

To learn more, check out Rachel's YTT course, Anatomy of the Shoulder which is one of 32 courses that make up our online/in-person 250-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program.

What if I have some pain in the wrist while doing this pose? Should I warm them up systematically before doing plank pose?

I watch many of Rachel's tutorials because she is SO good at being able to explain how to do certain poses. Thanks, Rachel!
