ASANA CLINIC: Chaturanga Deymstified
Postponed
Chaturanga Dandasana is a fundamental pose in a vinyasa practice, but it is both an advanced and complex pose that is commonly dubbed "shoulder shredder" because of the risk it poses when practiced with poor alignment.
In this asana clinic, we will unpack the common misalignments of this pose and practice drills and exercises to refine and build strength toward a sustainable chaturanga for YOUR body. We will look at transitions into and out of chaturanga, and options for modifying the pose without losing out on strength building.
