CE Workshop | Studying Plank Pose

About This Workshop

Plank pose, or chaturanga dandasana, is a nuanced posture that sparks conversation and creativity. This workshop discusses how the joints are positioned and loaded in the common variation of this pose. We also learn how to create a more expansive idea of alignment, so we can understand when a student may require alternatives to the typical variation. And, we play with chaturanga! Practice with props, movements, and creative iterations of this remarkable pose.
