Arm Alignment & Elbow Stacking Drill (Chaturanga Arms Mechanics)

Externally rotate the upper arms so inner elbows face forward and elbows draw straight back, stacking elbows vertically over wrists as the torso shifts forward.

Key points

  • Externally rotate arms so elbow creases point toward the front of the mat
  • Wrap triceps back toward ribs to prevent elbows from flaring out wide
  • Shift forward to stack the elbows vertically over the wrists

Common mistakes

Flaring elbows out to the sides without external rotation, creating unstable joint shearing.
