Exercise of the month

 

DOWNWARD DOG POSE

Adho Mukha Svanasana
(AH doe - MOO ka -
schva NAS ahna)

adho = downward

mukha = face
svana = dog

 

Benefits:
Stretches the shoulders, calves, hamstrings, ankles and feet
Improves digestion
Reduces headaches, sinus pain, backaches, sciatica, insomnia, anxiety, stress
Stimulates abdominal organs
Strengthens the shoulders, arms and legs
Reduces menstruation discomfort
Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause
Very helpful for asthma and flat feet

 

If you are suffering from carpal tunnel this may not be a good pose for you to try.

 

How to do this exercise:

 

(Always be sure to check with your Dr before performing this or any other new exercise especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, back or neck problems or are pregnant)

 

Downward dog is a pose that everyone does when they do yoga, however very few actually are taught the correct way to do

this posture. Follow the directions below and feel free to email me if you have any questions. When done correctly this is

one of the best poses you can do. When done incorrectly, not only is it ineffective, but will also stress the wrists.


1. Begin kneeling on the floor on your hands and knees. Knees are under your hips and your hands are slightly in front of your shoulders.

2. Spread your palms on the floor with your middle fingers aiming directly in front of you and
the rest of your fingers fanning out from there.

3. Inhale. As you exhale tuck your toes under and lift your knees off the floor. At first keep the
knees slightly bent and the heels lifted off the floor. Lift the tailbone gently toward the sky.

4. Now lengthen your legs as you gently press the heels toward the floor. Press the chest toward the thighs and lengthen the head and neck as it relaxes between the arms. Create space between your ears and shoulders be gently widening your shoulder and letting your shoulder blades slide downward towards your hips.

5. Stay in this pose anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. To come out of Downward Dog simply bend your knees to the floor and sit back towards your heels in and allow the forhead to gently sink towards the floor in childs pose.
