Place your hands at the top of the mat, shoulder distance apart. • 2. Externally rotate your arms by wrapping your triceps back so your elbows face the back of the room. Squeeze your hands together to activate your chest. • 3. Curl your toes under, then lift your knees and hips up and back. Align your shoulders between your hands and hips. • 4. Create extension in your spine by lifting up from your pelvis and pressing into your hands. Wrap your triceps down to create space across your back. • 5. Lift your heels slightly and turn them out so they’re aligned behind your toes. Squeeze your inner thighs together. • 6. Bring your gaze straight down so your ears line up between your biceps. • Downward Dog is a beginner inversion that’s commonly practiced in most yoga classes. While it’s often used as a transition pose, there are so many reasons why you should practice Downward Dog on its own! • Here are some health benefits of Downward Dog in yoga: • Reduces stress and anxiety • Relieves tension in your neck, shoulders, and back • Elongates your spine and improves posture • Strengthens your upper body and legs • Stretches your shoulders, hamstrings, and calves • Liked this Downward Dog yoga tutorial?
