Let’s reset your Downward Dog to get the most from this hip- and leg-opening yoga pose found in so many home workouts and flow!
It’s one of the most widely known yoga poses and probably one you’ve done time and time again in yoga flows and even core and mobility workouts.
Let’s R E S E T your Downward Dog to strengthen and mobilize the shoulders, core and hips!
Downward Facing Dog pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana in Sanskrit) can be practised on its own or as part of a flow or mobility sequence, and makes a good, but still challenging, resting point between other poses. Traditionally, the Downward Facing Dog yoga pose helps encourage circulation and calm the nervous system.
While it’s grounding and relaxing, Downward Dog can also feel very challenging on tight shoulders, hamstrings and calves. Instead of focusing on how the pose “looks” – trying to get perfectly straight legs or heels to the floor, for example – focus on how it FEELS and on finding alignment in Downward Dog that allows you to feel the hip-opening, shoulder stabilizing effects!
