We were doing this in my classes all last week and people loved it! ๐
It is freaking HARD, man, to move forward through these transitions. The most common thing I see is people moving downwards instead of forwards in chaturanga and then pressing up and back rather than continuing forwards to upward dog. (Psst this is probably why your lower back doesnโt love itโฆ the forward transition requires much more core support which will lift and strengthen your back!)
The block is a great tactile cue. Plus itโs fun to knock it over ๐.
Save this, practice it, let me know what you think!
๐ฉ also I hope you end up with a more open chest than I did in that final clip. What on earth did I do, delete the better take? ๐โโ๏ธ Oh wellโฆ after all, the work is to improve and adapt. Itโs never gonna be perfect every time and thatโs ok. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
