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.
