How to do Chaturanga Flow
- Set your wrists beneath your shoulders before beginning the lowering phase.
- Spread your fingers and press through your whole palm, including the base of each finger.
- Firm your abdomen and thighs so your hips move with your chest.
- Shift your chest slightly forward so your elbows can stay above your wrists as you lower.
- Bend your elbows back beside your ribs and lower your body with control.
- Stop lowering before your shoulders drop below your elbows.
- Keep your gaze slightly ahead of your hands without lifting your chin.
Variations
Lower both knees before bending your elbows, keeping a long line from knees to head.
