Well, this posture looks very easy (as well as other postures like warrior for example) but once you try to do it yourself you understand that things are not what they seem anymore. For chaturanga you got to have really strong shoulders in order to lower over the ground not touching the floor with your belly or chest, just hands and feet. The way I do it is something like jumping to a plank posture and then crashing down on the floor :) I try hard not to but I don't have any strength to keep me hovering over the floor. I decided to look for some tips on how to improve my Chaturanga Dandasana and build strong hands, so here it is:
And here are some video tips from Kino Macgregor! I just love her way of demonstrating. That smile is so important!
My teacher also keeps reminding us about importance of vinyasas and that we don't need to do them as fast as possible but try to do them properly and sometimes stay in Chaturanga, Upward or Downward facing dog for some time in order to feel the effect of the postures. Vinyasas are very important for building strength which will be later used for handstands and arm balances.
I also need to improve my belly muscles so I can lift myself properly for vinyasas and Utpluthih pose as well as Navasana (oh Gosh I was so ashamed I cannot hold those legs straight pfff).
