A yoga teacher breaks down how to modify Chaturanga low plank safely. Spread your fingertips, rise onto your toes, and lower only halfway down, or use a block between your hands to control how deep you go. Coordinate it with your breath: hold through the exhale, pause, then inhale into upward dog.
Chances are really good that you need to modify Chaturanga Dandasana, and here is how you're going to do that. First thing, it's important that you start with a good base, so spread your fingertips wide, come forward onto your tippy toes, and look forward. Drop the knees, point the toes back, bend at your elbows until you're halfway down. If you need to know how far to go, place a block in between your hands and then lower down until your chest touches it. Remember to hold your chaturanga for the entire exhale, pausing on your reachaka before you inhale up to urdhva mukha svanasana, upward facing dog. Light up the follow button for all the yoga.
