Tuck Planche

How To

The tuck planche is also a yoga pose - lolasana, or pendant pose.

Starting from a squat position on toes, place your hands on the floor 45 degrees outward. This will still allow you to push with your hands, but would not require you to bend your wrists as much (injury protection).

Once you place your hands, push into the floor by protracting your shoulders. Straighten your elbows (not lock them, but tighten your triceps), push out your back, then start leaning forward and tuck your knees as close to your chest as possible.

Lean enough so that your feet take off the ground. If this is too hard for you, try out the Crow pose first.

Tips
