Chaturanga is one of those poses you may have no idea about when the teacher mentions it in class, or maybe you feel like you aren’t getting it quite right. Maybe it’s one pose you really want to do but feel you need more strength! If done correctly, chaturanga is a great strength builder and adds an extra layer into any vinyasa flow.

Delve into the inner workings of chaturanga, looking at alignment, modifications, and safe practice, as well as learning techniques and knowing how to build up strength for your practice! Also get to know the tips and tricks for bakasana (crow pose), and see how these two postures work so well together to make you stronger and add a new dimension to your yoga style.
