Here's a tutorial on the popular, yet elusive pose, downward facing dog. Downdog is both a strengthening and resting pose. It's a common pose that we do to transition through our flow or "vinyasa" to the next set of standing poses. Downdog benefits the body in various ways like opening up the hamstrings and hips, strengthening the arms and legs, opening the shoulders and heart, toning the abs and stretching out the back. So good! Join me as I break downward facing dog down for you, step-by-step.
