What is the cue at the end of the High Plank to Low Plank sequence?

• A. Cobra pose hold
• B. Chaturanga or return to Downward Dog
• C. Stand up tall
• D. Rest in Child's Pose

Answer: (B)

From High Plank to Low Plank, the cue is the intentional lowering of the body into Chaturanga. This move means bending the elbows close to the ribs while keeping the core engaged and the shoulders stable, a hallmark transition that links the plank to the next pose in the vinyasa. If someone can’t perform that lowering, a common modification is to return to Downward Facing Dog, skipping the full Chaturanga to maintain breath and alignment. Cobra or Upward Dog would come after this transition, not the cue for ending the High to Low Plank itself, and standing tall or resting in Child’s Pose aren’t the immediate transition cues at this point.
