Here’s Kino with a how to for chaturanga dandasana.
Still can’t do this at all! I lack the upper body strength (shoulder girdle) to hold the correct shape. And I can’t get anywhere near the floor :( - it’s very frustrating…
Surya Namaskara B demo Kino MacGregor
“The Sun Salutation is the foundational movement of the Ashtanga Yoga method. Performed at the beginning of each practice this flowing series is meant to awaken the inner fire, agni, of purification and is also a salutation to the solar fire. At first the fire of purification burns through impurities and then after years of practice it transforms into the fire of awakening itself.”
