About this event
Chaturanga Dandasana, also known as the Four-Limbed Staff Pose, is one of the most common postures in vinyasa and power yoga. Yet it’s also one of the most technical: without correct alignment and muscle activation, it can put strain on your shoulders, wrists, and lower back.
In this 2 hour and 15 minute workshop, you’ll learn step-by-step how to move into Chaturanga safely, strongly, and mindfully. We’ll break down the posture, build strength, and explore proper execution with a focus on technique, body awareness, and injury prevention.
What you will learn & get:
🤍 Anatomy, alignment & technique - How to position your wrists, elbows, shoulders, and core
🤍 Common mistakes and how to avoid them
🤍 Progressions, variations & how to use props
🤍 Flow transitions - Plank → Chaturanga → Cobra / Upward Dog → Down Dog
🤍 Stretch & recovery poses
🤍 Personal attention & feedback – Modifications for your own level
🤍 Small group: max 12 participants
🤍 A practical / visual handout to take home
🤍 Snacks & Tea
🤍 Optional before & after video to see your progress
🤍 Practical tips for yoga teachers trainees – cueing and hands-on assists
Who is this for?
🧡 Beginners wanting to strengthen their foundation
🧡 Yoga teacher trainees or teachers looking to refine their cues and knowledge
🧡 Anyone with shoulder, wrist, or core challenges wanting to learn a safer technique
🌼 About Yukali
Yukali discovered Yin Yoga during a dance program in the United States, and what began as a physical practice soon grew into a deeper exploration of yoga and meditation. She completed her Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Arhanta Yoga in Arnhem with Ram Jain and deepened her understanding through Paul Grilley’s teachings. One year later, she completed the 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with Johan Noorloos at De Nieuwe Yogaschool in Amsterdam and went on to deepen her practice with Flow Yin & Somatic Movement, and hands-on assisting.
In her classes and workshops, she works with themes and offers personal attention so each participant feels truly seen. Her classes are a blend of everything she has learned, from classical form to intuitive flow, from breath to stillness.
