Alright Yogis! In this video we'll take a quick look at the jump back to Chaturanga Dandasana; a common vinyasa in the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series and beyond. Learning to do this one proficiently creates great strength and stability in between each of the seated asanas, and allows for fluid, uninterrupted movement through the sequence.

This movement requires deep core strength and healthy stability in the shoulders and arms to rotate the body cleanly and float all the way back into chatvari position. While does take time to integrate the necessary anatomical forms - I'll touch on just a few of the many cues that may be useful for yoga students to learn to clear the floor.

Coming up next, we'll either continue to look at this vinyasa, but go into a bit more detail to cover some of the modifications that will bring you closer to going through the full movement - OR - look at the jump forward into Bakasana B from the Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Series. Let me know what you wanna see next! Subscribe to see any upcoming videos.

Lift up // Jump Back!

Share this video with yogis who are working on this vinyasa . . .

Actual Love to all!

Jai
