How to do Chaturanga Dandasana

The word ‘Chaturanga Dandasana’ is comes from Sanskrit, in which the meaning of Chatur is “four”, Anga means “limbs”, danda means “staff” and meaning of Asana is seat, pose or posture. In this pose our both hands and both legs are used so that’s why this is called four- limbed staff pose and also known as low plank pose.
Chaturanga strengthens and tones the wrists, arms, abdominal muscles, and lower back. It prepares the body for more challenging arm balances. Similar to a traditional push-up, it also strengthens the muscles surrounding the spine, which helps to improve posture.

Thank you for this. I was a yoga instructor - years ago - and we always went into chaturanga from down dog, whilst doing sun salutations. At they gym I go to, an instructor calls this pose yoga plank - and then always says Pam, what is the word again, and I tell her chaturanga dandasana, but she teaches to do it from the floor up, something I have never seen. Many people can't do it, or struggle mightily (myself included). I had a debilitating health issue last year and will practice your modified pose on knees and coming halfway down to gain strength back . Thanks!!

I completely agree that knees, chest and chin is not a good preparation for chaturanga

[@pamjedlicka8451]

I always thought knees/chest/chin was called something else. I need to pull out my yoga books.
