As Spring comes into full bloom, our energy levels naturally increase.
Therefore we're adding Chaturunga push ups back into our flows.
To modify: knees can be placed on the floor, before lowering into Chaturunga.
Don't worry if you find Chaturunga push ups hard.
They are hard, and take consistent practice to master.
They're harder than regular push ups. This is due to the emphasis on tricep strength and smaller muscles,, rather than the chest muscles. Which then requires more active engagement through the entire body.
Pushing is a fundamental in bodyweight strength training, Helping to maintain functional integrated strength, mobility and joint health as we age. Ensuring that we're able to continue to do our daily activities with ease, and get up off the floor.
Without the need for any equpment other than a mat, yoga is incredible for building push strength. And you can scale up the intensity in various ways, which we've been exploring in classes.
Everyone so far is loving it, I think 🤣
