This class develops Nakrasana (Crocodile Pose) by drilling Chaturanga as both the set-up and landing. The key is never leaving the Chaturanga shape: arms fully bent, elbows close, and the whole body held in Danda alignment—head, torso, pelvis, and legs in one line. From there, students practice short, controlled jumps in place, first just lifting the hands off the ground, then adding small hops forward and back. Progressions include working with blocks under the hands to reduce load, practicing on forearms for a gentler version, and linking plank-to-Chaturanga lowers with a quick hop. Each stage reinforces the two essentials: Chaturanga arms and Danda line. The emphasis is on layering difficulty—high blocks first, then lower, eventually floor—while avoiding distortions like hips lifting separately or elbows straightening midair. The takeaway: Nakrasana is not about flashy leaps but about precision, repetition, and whole-body discipline, turning jumps into a natural extension of Chaturanga. Model - Romain Prevost
