Build a Solid Foundation

Ashtanga ABCs Day 2 {Build a Solid Foundation}

Challenge Pose: Chaturanga

Yoga is all about patience, and developing a personal practice is more of a marathon than a sprint. Many poses take months or years to master, so the practice becomes more about creating a Solid Foundation rather than performing perfect asana.

A pose like Chaturanga engages the entire body. Even though you’re on 4 limbs, getting your elbows to a right angle can make it feel like an arm balance.

Build a Solid Foundation by setting yourself in high plank with the hands shoulder distance and the feet hip distance. Keep the legs and core engaged as you lower only as far as you can control the descent. Stay strong out there.
