You might do (what feels like) 100 chaturangas in a typical vinyasa flow class—so let’s make sure you’re doing them well. Sometimes called the “shoulder shredder,” chaturanga is one of the most commonly repeated (and misunderstood) poses in modern yoga. In this workshop, we’ll break down the full vinyasa sequence—plank, chaturanga, upward-facing dog, and downward-facing dog.

We’ll dive into the shoulder complex—because yes, it is complex!—to better understand how this intricate joint functions and how to support it in dynamic transitions. And we’ll work from the ground up, starting with the foundation: the hands. How you place and engage your hands sets the tone for the entire pose. Learn how to bear weight skillfully through your hands and shoulders, so each vinyasa feels more supported, integrated, and sustainable.

Through a mix of anatomical insight, embodied exploration, and thoughtful movement progressions, you’ll gain tools to flow safely, mindfully, and with confidence and strength.
What you’ll learn:

Key alignment principles for each pose in the vinyasa
How to protect and strengthen your shoulders
How to build stability and strength from your hands up
The role of breath in smooth, integrated movement
How to adapt vinyasa to meet your body’s needs
Expect a blend of anatomy-based learning, guided movement, and practical tools you can immediately apply to your practice. This workshop is open to all levels—whether you’re new to flow or simply want to strengthen your plank, refine your (up and down) dogs, or clean up your chaturanga.

Come curious. Leave empowered.
