Applying Gravity

This drill will help you organize your very specific chaturanga alignment with the optimal relationship to the floor. You’ll only need to bear the weight of your body above your waist though so we’re still taking it easy.

Remember that chaturanga alignment is with the elbows smooshed against your body, the elbow over the wrists and of course the serratus anterior and transverse abdominus ON. Try to avoid too much cobra in the chest for this one.

What you need for this drill:

• 10 minutes
• A sticky mat
• A bolster

Assignment:

Do this drill 3 times a day for 3 or 4 days before moving on.
