A variation of the Plank Pose (Kumbhakasana) is Side Plank Pose. You can move into this from standard plank as it focuses on strengthening the side that is holding the rest of your body weight. I found it particularly useful for strengthening the arms, wrists and the abdominals. Also you can feel the leg nearest the floor, in particular the thigh working hard. It's important that the palms are flat and firmly grounded on the floor and the arm is stretching out as much as possible. This beautiful stretch oxygenates the working muscles to keep them strong and healthy.
