Description
2 hours of live audio recorded July 2016.
An essential pose of vinyasa yoga, chaturanga is actually incredibly advanced and complex.
Chaturanga dandasana has dubbed a “shoulder shredder” because even slightly sloppy form, over and over, class after class, does an unfortunate number on your tendons and muscles (rotator cuff, pecs and biceps) as well as the shoulder joint itself.
Consider this audio workshop a guiding beacon that will keep you healthy, happy and safe on the yoga mat for years to come.
Chaturanga Clinic is here for you!
Learn:
– Steps to refine and build strength toward full, sustainable chaturanga
– Ramped up quality of transitions into and out of chaturanga
– Options for modifying the pose without dumbing it down (or losing out on strength building)
We will also playfully explore the jumpback from crow and uttanasana, and how to decide if it’s time.
What percent of the time is dedicated to asana practice?
The majority of this audio recording (2 hours) involves actual practice of different techniques for understanding safe chaturanga. The workshop is also sprinkled with a little bit of lecture (the “Why” we do what we do) and discussion/ Q+A.
What poses are included in this practice? Chaturanga dandasana and modifications and variations, including a sun salutation with a safe jump-back variation, consideration of the transition into chaturanga from plank, from chaturanga to cobra vs. upward facing dog.
