Firmly grip the mat, round your shoulders and upper back, and align your butt with the rest of your body.
Avoid letting your body sag. Stay firm and tight, and your abs will do the work for you!
Hold for 30 seconds, gradually working up to 2 minutes.
Spread your palms on the mat and lift your butt straight up until your knees are off the ground and your legs are straight.
The key to this pose is to keep your back arched enough and your butt pointed out so that your lower back remains completely straight.
Hold this pose for 30 seconds to stretch your hamstrings and shoulders.
This is a plank variation. Chaturanga is also known as the yogi push-up. From plank position, lower your body until your torso is parallel to your upper arms and triceps. Ensure your butt is slightly higher than your torso and your belly isn’t sagging.
Start by holding this position for 10 seconds, then work up to 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Begin seated with your legs extended in front of you and your hands directly under your shoulders.
Using your core and glutes, lift your body until your pelvis is in line with the rest of your body.
Hold this position for 30 seconds.
Start in a squatting position on your heels with your hands in front of you.
Rise onto your toes and place your knees on your upper arms, as close to your armpits as possible. Slowly shift your weight forward until your feet lift off the ground and your arms support your weight.
For beginners, try placing your knees closer to your elbows or just outside of them.
Hold for 30 seconds or as long as you can.
Remember, for this power yoga workout, hold each pose for 30 seconds before moving to the next. After completing all 5 poses, rest for 1 minute.
Then repeat the workout, holding each pose for an additional 30 seconds.
Feel free to stay in any stretch longer than 30 seconds if it feels good or if you think you need it.
