The Planka is not a classical asana. However, most yoga asanas require a sufficiently high level of fitness and a good awareness of the cortex, i.e. the muscle group that forms the central muscular corset that protects the vital organs. Because the plank position is good for endurance training and strengthening the cortex, it was included in the Surya Namaskar complex at the beginning of the 20th century and is often used as an element of the linking sequence of asanas, vinyasa.

De acuerdo con el nombre, nuestra tarea consiste en distribuir el peso del cuerpo uniformemente entre los cuatro apoyos (pies y palmas), enderezar todo el cuerpo en una sola línea y fijar su posición durante varios ciclos respiratorios. Mientras que en la plancha clásica sólo se puede utilizar una geometría para la fijación (para mantenerla durante mucho tiempo hay que poner los huesos de los brazos en las articulaciones para que soporten la carga principal), en la chaturanga dandasana es imposible: hay que comprometer todos los grupos musculares y estabilizar todas las articulaciones para evitar que el pecho o la pelvis caigan al suelo.
