It’s a fun word to say, but a pain in the butt to do. Part of the sun salutation, in power yoga, between nearly every pose you go through a vinyasa and do plank/chaturanga/updog/downdog. Great core and arm workout, but your arms will be shaking by the end.
Here is what chaturanga looks like.
Start at plank, otherwise known as push-up position. With the hands directly below the shoulders, inhale then exhale- lowering yourself slowly while keeping the belly tight and the back and bum in line. Stop and hover just a few inches above the ground. This is chaturanga.
And in case you’re wondering, yes, that’s me. If I can do it, so can you.
