Join @louisejacksonyoga for her Mastering Chaturanga workshop, Saturday September 15th 2-4pm. The last 2 workshops sold out so make sure you book your spot soon!
One of the foundational poses of Vinyasa Flow, Chaturanga Dandasana is a primary transition pose in many yoga classes. Because we do it a lot, it's super important to understand how to do it with the correct alignment to ensure we don't become injured over time.
This workshop will breakdown the fundamentals of alig...nment, mechanics, and anatomy of Chaturanga. We’ll look at the common alignment mistakes and address the bad habits you may or may not know you’re repeating every single time you practice the pose.
We'll explore strengthening exercises and preparatory poses to build up to Chaturanga and the arm balances that Chaturanga unlocks, leaving you with the confidence to practise your new skills in one of our classes.
