Yoga Transitions to Prepare for the Next Pose Awareness. You know your yoga practice is supposed to promote mindfulness, but how often do you forget to breathe while Alignment. A major benefit of yoga is its focus on identifying and correcting imbalances in the body, particularly those.In most yoga flows, like what you’ll find in vinyasa or power yoga classes, you’ll transition from chaturanga, which is a yoga pushup, into downward dog, where your body resembles an upside down.
The transition poses neutralize your body, preparing it for the next position in the yoga sequence. Transition poses also act as a bridge between standing and sitting or lying positions. An effective transition pose seamlessly fuses the positions proceeding and following it the sequence without being taxing or awkward.Transitional poses are important in preparing you for the next pose.
They allow you to gently shift your weight and ease into the next pose while paying attention to alignment and positioning. Paying attention to transitional poses can help you to focus on your breathing and movement, instead of looking forward to the end of the sequence.A Start in tree pose, standing on the right leg with hands in prayer.

I choose you. You inspire me and I want to incorporate more yoga into my life. This practice kicked my ass and that’s exactly what I needed. Thank you!!��
great input. i will try that…i hope i can make it happen in about 10 years:D
im having trouble moving from chaturanga to up dog cause im feeling bearly nothing chances with my hands, please post a video od this move <3
This video was perfect for today. I’m going to be starting grad school next month and will be getting my first car very soon. This was just what I needed. ��❤️
Who is the girl here? She’s not listed in the video. Would love to know her full name or if she has Instagram
My coworkers laughed when I told them I was going to shed fat with Fat Blast Furnace, but then they saw the results. Google Fat Blast Furnace to see their reaction. (You should see their shock!)
YOUR MY FAVOURITE YOGA MENTOR ON YOUTUBE. YOU EXPLAIN ALL YOGA POSES IN DETAIL. YOU ARE VIDEO’S ARE JUST CALMING AND AMAZING. ����������������
You are incredible Dylan! My yoga practice is improving day by day b’coz of your classes. Sending lots of love from India!❤
Used to do chaturanga but I hurt my shoulder so found this, which fixed the bad alignment which caused my injury and built my strength as I rehabilitated my shoulder. The knee chest chin video in yoga foundations is definitely worth checking out too!
omg, you are so cool, amazing teacher! love U��where have U been all my adventure with Yoga?U tought me better than anyone else ever before.Thank U��
Does anybody know what yoga mat is she using? It looks quite roomy
Hello Adriene just wanted to say you’re absolutely amazing your tutorials are wonderful I started doing yoga a couple of years ago technically I’m still a beginner but I did it to avoid back surgery and it has been wonderful you! are a godsend thank you so much��
Knees, chest and chin pose is a little bit hard. I did it but not well done. You think it’s a easy pose but no. However, I liked practice doing it. Namaste.
Hi Adriene, I keep reading that chaturanga is bad for the shoulders so I’m not sure about doing it,would love to hear your thoughts on this, apart from that I love your videos, thank you so much
You are such a wonderful teacher! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and positive energy. ��
great! one question though. What about doiNG Bakasana as a preparation for this jump (ashto) and jumping from there to chaturanga? do you think it could be a fair option?
I dont know why indians dont make videos
origin of yoga is india
they got whole knowledge from us
I choose strength, courage, trust, faith in the Divine and love.
What do you mean “walk your knees towards your midline?” Where’s your midline?! They are already under the hips in tabletop. Please explain. What is “find your integrity”. I don’t understand your esoteric expressions.
hi..thanks for d tips.has helped me in my quest for smoothr transitions��
Thanks girl this is my mission for July to be able to do Chaturanga Dandasana by the end of the month wish me luck xxxb
I can’t bring my chest to the ground…yet! I will practice this and looking forward to being able to do the chaturanga!
Got it!!!!! So pleased, I’ve been struggling with these push-ups in plank and half plank. Today, I learnt how to do it well! Knees chest and chin is fun! Thank you beautiful one:)
just finished True my third 30 day journey. Now to do this for July. Thank you so much Adrienne
Forget about part 2 and 3 I’m just glad I could do all three hovering cats without breaking early. It’s a step by step process though right? Lol
A bit confused as there was no Chaturanga dandasana in the vid, are these just poses to help do the pose? When I look online, everything points to Chaturanga dandasana being the plank pose (from one site: The name is derived from the Sanskrit, chatur, meaning “four,” anga, meaning “limb,” danda, meaning “staff,” and asana, meaning “pose.”)
So confused haha 😉
That pushing through is bad for shoulders. If all those wonderful alignment cues aren’t followed it’s much safer to touch pelvis down first and keep shoulders above elbows the whole time, so lowering only half way down with elbows in.
The knees chest chin is a shoulder shredder highly contraindicated.
Adriene, which muscles do you use to send up to downward dog??
great practice! so relevant for the times. thank you! super fan girl here!
Hi Adriene, can you please do a video that explains how to transition from down dog, to Chaturanga to up dog and back to down dog. This is a common flow for you but I can’t seem to do it. Thanks!
doing july 2020 felt so proud of myself for doing everything with the variations until i got to the ARM BALANCE omg! HOW
I think I’ll always come back to this video. Love it so so much!
everything is alright except of this girl strip club outfit….respect yoga and our culture
I really appreciate these videos, but can I just raise a broader question about the individuality of practice? It’s fine to know the orthodoxies as laid out by Sharath, but if in your own practice, you really want to do a handstand, why not? It’s your body, your mat, your time, your breath, and ultimately, I don’t see any harm in it.
Also, for what it’s worth, Stu is awesome and hella strong. I love his videos and sense of humor and curiosity.
How beautifully you have broken down the challenges into steps.. much needed for the elusive chaturanga..:) thank you. Hopefully this helps me.
Adrienne, I am having a real crisis of confidence with my chaturanga. This really helped and I will practice every day. This is not ego just wanting not to hurt myself. Thank you xxx
I choose love. Love for myself, and love to everyone! So happy I chose �� to do this, a day late but who cares!! I am doing it!! This year’s been a wild ride, so thank you to those who practiced with me! And thank you Adriene!! As always �� namaste ✌️��
Does anyone know where I can purchase the mat Adriene uses in her home series?
every single time you do the knees chest chin flow, the angle switches and it’s hard to see what it would look like as u actually touch the chest and chin
Okay, so this transition has always confused me and I’ve talked to my teacher about it but am still a bit confused. But you sort of gave a hint just past the 6:30 mark. You said that at supta you inhale and jump forward, and then exhale before you do the count. That exhale is NOT in Sharath’s book. Without it, you would start your 5-count on an exhale, meaning that the next breath after your count would have to be an exhale. But you are saying, for sure, that ashtau is an inhale while folding. That’s an unnatural breath movement (inhaling while folding, before lifting) but you see it in padangusthasana so it’s not SO weird.
I just want to make 100% sure you do the exhale after supta, which isn’t otherwise mentioned, before doing the count.
Also, is the count ALWAYS inhale-exhale? Or can it be exhale-inhale? It would seem that after utthita hasta padangusthasana C you have the same exhale-inhale cycle on the 5-count.
Thanks.
Hello ywa community, I was wondering if I could get some advice with elevating my practice. I would consider myself an intermediate yogi, I have been practicing yoga as a supplement to my cardio and strength training for a few years now. I’ve been doing yoga more frequently, maybe 4-5 short sessions per week for the last few months. However, I cannot seem to hold any arm balances for more than a brief moment, and I want to start using them as transitions between poses. Since I do believe I have enough upper body strength, I think I am having issues with the mental aspect of it as well as balance. Does anyone have any advice for this?
Just love how you are so real with these moves!
Thank you ��
does anyone know if keeping your arms+elbows align with your core (as oppose to letting them fling out) get more doable with practice and strengthening? I find that when I’m doing the push up movements, I physically can’t keep them in as much as adriene does. thanks!
In this time of transition, how do you finish the sentence I choose…?
Thank you so much for your videos! They are truly helping me grow mentally/physically/spiritually everyday! Truly grateful I found your page. You’re awesome Adrienne! ������
I love YWA! I have three littles and I would love to introduce them to yoga in an approchable, fun way. Any videos for that?
I have extralong legs and when we go down from dog to the floor, I feel like a baby giraffe, no grace or finess haha. But I enjoyed it! Thank you Adriene, you are such a beautiful soul
hi!!!Thanks!! And really love your tanktop, do you sell them?
So excited to begin my chaturanga practice.:) I’m confused though in half plank, are you supposed to shift your weight forward as you lower down? Or rather, when you lower down fully, are the hands supposed to be in line with the armpits? The face? Or all the way down to the ribs?
Hi A! My lower back always hurts when I am doing upward facing.:( what is wrong
This is the first video of yours I ever did Adriene, a couple of years ago. Always used and loved Psychetruth (I still do), but I wanted to improve my Chaturanga so I searched and found this, which lead me on to Knees Chest Chin, which is probably my favourite pose to do, and then YouTube started suggesting more of your videos from there and here I am now having practiced with you almost every day for over a year, and back to this video again because I’m following the November calendar. So nice to revisit my roots in every way
Hi, This demonstration is exactly what I need to learn the pose, great help, but as much as I try, why do I feel that I just want to fall flat on my face?
I have been practicing for a while now and sitting on my knees or feet is really uncomfortable! Is this something that will go away with time or is there an alternative pose?
To whoever is reading this, you are loved. You are blessed. Your dreams are manifesting as we speak. Time is on your side. Everything will work out in your favor. May you find more love, peace and prosperity. Keep shining your light in this world. We need you and we love you
Thanks for the post, we love you too and we support you 😉 ������
