I was talking about my weekend experience tonight with some of my dance students. Somehow chaturanga came up and since they didn’t know what it was, I had to demonstrate. And I did it! Elbows in too! Granted on did it from my knees, but given I have never felt I have been able to do chaturanga properly until today , I was really pleased.
I think the explanation that Coral gave at the Monday lunch class really helped. I also think that may have been the first time I have ever heard it really broken down (since most of my yoga I do on my own) and I never really understood what I was supposed to be doing.
