Chaturanga

About This Class

In this short instructional class, Bryan Kest breaks down Chaturanga Dandasana step by step using a live demonstration. Starting from Down Dog, students move through Plank before lowering into Chaturanga — the goal being to hover the torso a few inches off the floor with a straight line from hips to crown. Bryan emphasizes common alignment pitfalls (collapsing hips or chest), offers two elbow variations (tucked vs. slightly flared), and strongly encourages the knees-down modification for most practitioners. The class is purely pose-focused and technique-driven, making it ideal for anyone wanting to understand and safely practice this foundational arm-support posture.
