    So helpful! In most yoga classes, the teacher rushes through Chaturanga and gives the option to do either variation, and I've always just been sort of rolling with it. This is so informartive! Would you consider either doing a series where you and your teacher highlight certain poses/groups of poses/sequences? Or maybe you could do a yoga themed q&a together? x

    Oh my god!!! Just rotating the arms like that?! I have watched so many videos but this is the first one where someone actually shows us the difference. I tried it and it felt easier than when I was trying without that rotation. I still can’t do a chaturanga but maybe now I can improve. It really is those little things. Thank you!

    I like how in the final chateranga how you adjust the feet one by one. I often see people do a toe roll with both feet together and it often feels painful for me to replicate so I will place my feet like Niomi has done from now on. Thanks

    My instructor noticed I was doing it wrong and she taught us the pose as a class- being called in (not out) was lovely but since then I’ve been doing so much research to fix the flow and realized I was taking easy short cuts- it’s so much harder than I thought it was!!! But I already feel sore in my arms from practicing … that’s good right

    I am finding that this really bothers my neck and L trap/SCM muscles, whether I tilt forward or not. I have chronic pain in my L trap/SCM that causes chronic daily migraines. I was hoping this would help relieve the pain but it makes it worse. Should I just ist not do this?
