Is Chaturanga a "Shoulder Shredder" or are You Just Impatient? | Yoga Anatomy Lesson

Chaturanga dandasana, also commonly called a yoga pushup, is commonly thought to be a "shoulder shredder". People blame this pose all the time for causing injury because it places such a huge demand on the shoulder joint. . . Is chaturanga REALLY a "shoulder shredder"? Is it safe? Is it dangerous? . . The truth is that the common belief is probably correct that chaturanga causes a lot of yoga injuries, but not for the reasons that most people think! The position itself is perfectly fine, it's just really damn hard. You need to work up to it! . . Yoga teachers are not taught about simple things like the principle of progressive overload or the principle of specific adaptation to imposed demand. If they were, maybe they wouldn't be forcing people into things that are too hard for them. . . ❇️ SHOULDER ANATOMY OF MOTION COURSE ❇️ https://www.shapeshiftwellness.com/co... . .
