I’m pretty confident as I ease through my yoga flow — that is, until I hit Chaturanga pose. As I try to gracefully lower myself to the floor, my shaky arms almost always give out.
According to Sophie Jaffe, a certified yoga instructor and owner of Philosophie, the foundational yoga pose is all about using strength from your core while activating leg-and-arm balance. I figured a new strength-training routine would do some good, so with that, Jaffe offered up some core and tricep-focused moves that can be done at home, in the gym, or on the go. Hopefully now my Sun Salutations will be seamless the next time I’m in the studio.
