Hi Adell! I've been taught to jump back (e.g., from crow/handstand) to chaturanga however, when I went through my teacher training a few years ago, we were taught to jump back to plank, then lower to chaturanga. The rationale for this was that it is safer for the shoulders - I've also heard this can be jarring on the lower back. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this and how to land when jumping back. Thank you 😊
