Chaturanga Practice - Yoga For Beginners

This sequence is a great trio of tips to practice for Chaturanga Dandasana. Practice to build strength and support for a healthy and happy Chaturanga. Connect with the core and light up the whole body. Pay attention to alignment and action so that in time you can find ease in a challenging posture. Don't forget its all about the practice - so let the practice grow, be patient and hold on to your sense of humor. Chaturanga or Four Limbed Staff Pose doesn't have to be so daunting and serious!

    Hello! I am returning to yoga after years away. I was working through disordered eating and over training and body dysmorphia. As I have found my way home to my body, I have realized that I never laid the foundations. I, with complete arrogance, went straight to the "hard" stuff always trying to do the fullest expression of the pose just for ego's sake. Needless to say I wound up with many muscle imbalances and injuries becasue I was so disconnected from my body. So as I return to yoga, I knew I wanted to return to practice with you. I am starting from the beginning and falling in love with this movement again. But this time, I am teachable :) Thank you!

Always used and loved Psychetruth (I still do), but I wanted to improve my Chaturanga so I searched and found this, which lead me on to Knees Chest Chin, which is probably my favourite pose to do, and then KZread started suggesting more of your videos from there and here I am now having practiced with you almost every day for over a year, and back to this video again because I'm following the November calendar. So nice to revisit my roots in every way

    a great intro to this pose-so many people injure themselves (this would include me) in the quest to perform this pose when they really haven't built the foundation of strength and alignment.I take it much easier in vinyasa classes, b/c I found I was flinging myself through the pose in an effort to achieve something my body wasn't ready for.

    It astounds me how challenging chaturanga is for me, even on knees, when done mindfully! I have definitely had a tendency to collapse my shoulders and realize I haven't really been building my shoulder strength all this time I've been doing it on my knees...no wonder I haven't moved on past that point yet! Thank you for making such accessible videos.
