I know it might sound like just semantics, but it’s really two whole different ways of viewing the body: chaturanga isn’t bad - we are just bad at doing chaturanga ?
.
Chaturanga gets a bad rap in the yoga world all the time (including by me in the past! ??‍♀️). It’s said to be a terrible pose, a “shoulder shredder”, and much more.
.
But here’s the deal: chaturanga is not an inherently bad movement. All that it really is is a *strong* movement (very strong!) And the truth is that to do chaturanga *skillfully and without compensations* requires more strength than most yogis truly have.
.
If most of us are bad at doing chaturanga (heh heh), then let’s start taking the time to get better at chaturanga by regressing it and building progressive strength over time so that our body adapts to become better able to handle the loads of this ubiquitous pose.
.
Don’t you think that sounds like a positive and movement science-informed approach to this asana?
.
I think we owe chaturanga an apology for demonizing it (I know I do, at least). I hope it accepts my apology ?
.
And as coincidence would have it, progressive strength-building is exactly the approach we take in our @strengthforyoga programming ?
.
Our interactive Remote Group Training program (*link in bio!*) just started its new monthly phase today (8/1), and this month has an extra focus on horizontal shoulder-pushing strength ?
.
Getting stronger in this way will carry right over into our practice of chaturanga and make this pose more accessible for us!
.
Spots are filling up fast in Remote Group Training – join us today (link in bio!) Here’s to strong, resilient shoulders and well-executed vinyasas! ?
