Yoga Basics: Yoga Push Up (Chaturanga) - Thrive Yoga and Wellness

In today's tutorial, you are going to get an in depth look at the Yoga Push up. In sanskrit this pose is called Chaturanga. This is a basic yoga pose found in many “flow” type classes and can be quite a challenge because, frankly, it is hard (1) and it requires a TON of upper body and ab strength (2). Believe it or not, this pose can actually cause injury to a person’s shoulder, wrist, and elbow AND it can exacerbate low back pain (I’ve seen it done before, when they weren’t listening to the cues you’ll find here).
