Vasisthasana, or Side Plank Pose, strengthens your wrists, forearms, shoulders, and spine. It increases flexibility in the wrists and also opens the hips and hamstrings. This pose tones the abdominal muscles and improves balance, concentration, and focus. Vasisthasana is often used as a preparation for more challenging arm balances.
