You know what Chaturanga should look like

But knowing the shape isn't the same as having the capacity to control it.

Maybe you:

• collapse through your shoulders

• can't lower slowly

• feel shaky halfway down

• struggle to keep your elbows and shoulders organised

• fatigue quickly

• can hold plank, but lose control when you lower

• keep getting told to “engage your core” without actually solving the problem

You may not have an alignment problem.

You may have a strength and capacity problem.

And that's trainable.

It's a strength skill.

To control your body as you lower into Chaturanga, you need to coordinate and load multiple systems at once:

Shoulders
Scapular stabilisers
Chest
Triceps
Core & trunk
Wrists & forearms
Hips & legs

If one part isn't able to contribute effectively, something else often compensates.

This intensive helps you understand those demands — and progressively train them.

Chaturanga isn't just a yoga pose

The approach

We don't chase the shape. We build the capacity.

Assess

Understand what your body is actually doing and identify where you may be losing control.

Isolate

Train the individual components of upper-body and trunk strength that contribute to the movement.

Strengthen

Progressively build your ability to produce and control force.

Integrate

Bring those components back into Chaturanga and other load-bearing movements.

Apply

Learn how to continue developing the strength after the intensive ends

Instead of repeatedly attempting Chaturanga and hoping it improves, we'll break down the movement and train the qualities that support it.

3 DAYS. ONE MOVEMENT
A LOT MORE UNDERSTANDING

Foundation

Understand

We'll train the components.

Progressive strength work for pushing, scapular control, trunk stability and eccentric strength.

You'll learn how to scale the work to your current level.

Day 1

Build

We'll bring the pieces back together.

Apply your new strength and control to Chaturanga, transitions and other load-bearing asana.

You'll leave with a clearer understanding of how to continue training beyond the workshop.

DWhat actually happens in Chaturanga?

We'll explore the movement mechanics, common strength gaps and the role of the shoulders, scapulae, arms and trunk.

You'll begin identifying what is limiting your own practice.

Meet Chhavi

Yoga teacher. Movement educator. Strength nerd.

I've been teaching yoga for over a decade.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in a simple question:

What happens when the body doesn't yet have the capacity to do what we're asking it to do?

A practitioner can understand alignment.

They can know every cue.

They can be extremely flexible.

And still lack the strength and control required for a movement.

That's the gap my work explores.

I combine my experience in yoga with strength and movement education to help teachers and practitioners develop greater physical capacity for asana.

This is for you if...

Or you're a practitioner who:

• wants to finally understand why Chaturanga feels so difficult

• wants to build strength without abandoning your yoga practice

• is working toward arm balances or inversions

• wants more control in your vinyasa practice

You do not need to already be strong.

You need to be willing to train

You're a yoga teacher who:

• doesn't feel confident demonstrating Chaturanga

• wants to develop a stronger personal practice

• struggles with upper-body strength

• feels unstable under load

• wants to understand the physical demands behind asana

• wants better tools for progressing challenging movements

• has been practicing for years but still feels limited by strength

What this isn't

This isn't another workshop where you're given five more cues for “perfect alignment.”

It's not an anatomy lecture.

It's not a high-intensity fitness class disguised as yoga.

And it's not about making your Chaturanga look prettier.

It's about developing the physical capacity to control what you're asking your body to do.

Why Chaturanga

Because Chaturanga is one of the clearest examples of a larger gap in yoga education.

We often teach practitioners:

What the pose should look like.

But not always:

How to build the capacity to control it.

Strength training gives us another way to approach the problem.

Not as a replacement for yoga.

As a tool that can make your yoga practice more capable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be able to do Chaturanga already?

No. The workshop is specifically designed to help you build the capacity required to control the movement.

What if I'm not very strong?

That's completely fine. You'll work through appropriate progressions and regressions based on your current capacity.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes. You don't need previous strength-training experience.

Is this a yoga workshop?

It's a strength and movement intensive specifically designed around the needs of yoga practitioners. You will still be working with movements that directly relate to your yoga practice, but this isn't a conventional yoga class.

Will this help with arm balances and inversions?

The strength and control you develop can be relevant to other load-bearing asana, including arm balances and inversion preparation. However, the primary focus of this intensive is Chaturanga and the physical capacities behind it.
