In Yoga (Chaturanga Dandasana)

The primary purpose of Chaturanga is to build foundational core, upper body, and wrist strength while acting as a crucial transition link (vinyasa) between high plank and upward-facing dog.

• Physical Conditioning: It targets and strengthens the triceps, pectorals, anterior deltoids, and the deep stabilizing muscles of the core and spine.

• Functional Alignment: It teaches the body how to maintain a rigid, integrated “hollow body” shape under resistance, which is essential for advancing to complex arm balances and handstands.

As a teacher, do you ever get tired of cueing Chatarunga?

It’s a great warm up pose, but by my Sun C, I can see members starting to fade and I’m seeing sustained injuries from overuse.

So lately I’ve been sequencing and infinity flow to skip the vinyasa between rounds.

Here’s my Sun C from today. No chatarunga! Try it, let me know what you think.

Also a couple more opportunities to see me this week for your yoga fix!

Sunday 12:15pm Flow at LTP
Sunday 4:00pm Surrender at LTA

This reminds me of those spoons you used to get in the cereal box that turned a different color when you put it in the milk.

Can’t promise the lights or the camera will catch your pose this way, but I can teach you how to get into this. Come hang out with me tomorrow at 10:00am Honor Yoga Plano

Releasing Outcomes: Giving your absolute best effort to an action while completely letting go of how it turns out.

There’s some much freedom in trusting that whatever happens will end the way it is supposed to. That if you simply put your attention towards the effort and not the result then you base your whole world on the moment not the outcome. The outcome is relative and uncontrollable but what you do in the moment is where you can thrive.

Benefits of Yoga for Women

Yoga provides powerful physical, mental, and hormonal benefits that support women through every stage of life.

Physical Health & Strength

• Builds bone density: Weight-bearing yoga poses help protect against bone loss and support long-term skeletal health as women age.

• Improves flexibility & balance: Stretching tight muscles and holding steady postures increases joint mobility and lowers the risk of falls.

• Strengthens the core: Poses like planks and lunges tone deep abdominal and back muscles, which protects the spine and improves posture.

Mental Wellbeing & Stress Relief

• Lowers stress hormones: Yoga decreases levels of cortisol, helping to calm the nervous system and ease anxiety.

• Enhances body image: The inward focus of yoga fosters self-appreciation and body satisfaction rather than self-criticism.

• Promotes better sleep: Deep breathing and restorative postures help quiet the mind for deeper, more reliable rest.

Come practice with me, it’s good for you 🧘🏼‍♀️

✨Theme:

Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ

quieting of the constant fluctuations of the mind

✨Inspiration

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear. — Rumi

As we discover, when we pay attention to its natural rhythm, the breath becomes calm. Simultaneously, the mind quiets down. It all happens naturally. … Any force is counterproductive — Bhante Henepola Gunarantana

✨Practice

Sample Sequence
• Warrior A

• Dancing Shiva

• Chair Balance

• Half Moon

Breaking Down the Sanskrit

Yoga: Union, connection, or coming to a state of balance.

Citta: The total mental field, including consciousness, memory, and ego layers.

Vṛtti: The turning waves, modifications, or mental ripples of thoughts and stories.

Nirodhaḥ: The restraint, stilling, or calming down of those mental waves.

Meditation practice

Clearing the Lake: Imagine your mind as a lake; when the water is still, you see the bottom clearly, but when it is stirred up by mental chatter, truth is obscured.

✨Theme: Ishvara Pranidhana

surrender to something greater than yourself

✨Inspiration

letting go of the need to control every outcome and trusting the process of life.

Sometimes the greatest strength isn’t in holding on—it’s in knowing when to let go.

✨Practice

Sample Sequence

• Dragonfly Twist
• Prayer Twist
• Half Moon
• Garland
• Crow

Letting go of control: It teaches you to work with sincerity while releasing your attachment to the exact results or rewards of your actions.

Ego reduction: It helps quiet the small ego-self by acknowledging that you are part of a much larger.

Practice in Daily Life

On the mat: Holding a challenging yoga pose by breathing through the discomfort instead of fighting the body’s limits.

Off the mat: Doing your best task or job with full effort, but letting go of the stress over how others will judge or receive the outcome.

Acceptance: Meeting life’s unexpected changes with an open mind and quiet trust.

I’m in love with the athleticism of a CTR (Core, Tone, Reform) class. As a long time yoga student and teacher, understanding the foundations of movements is key to my yoga practice, so having a Pilates practice that compliments my CTR workout seems only natural.

Pilates is my alignment breath base workout. I get personal attention and an understanding of what a low-impact mind-body exercise focused on core strength, flexibility, posture, and controlled movement should feel like.

Pilates is a perfect complement to my CTR workouts. Having a basic understanding of how to adjust my springs to support my workout and how to control my reformer helps me keep up and get max repetitions in my CTR workouts. Understanding the function of movement is key to targeting the intended muscles, and receiving the best results.

If you haven’t tried an into to Pilates class and are planning to take a CTR class, I would strongly suggest trying a class with Cara Ann Lukowich Life Time McKinney at Craig Ranch she’s a pro and incredibly knowledgeable.
