Downward-Facing Dog is a traditional yoga pose that stretches and strengthens the entire body. It begins in a tabletop position on the hands and knees, then the hips are lifted up and the legs are straightened, creating an upside-down ‘V’ shape with the body. It is a great pose for beginners and experienced yogis alike. There are three main benefits to practicing Downward Facing Dog. Firstly, it helps to improve circulation and breathing. Secondly, it strengthens the arms, legs, and core. Lastly, it helps to improve posture and balance.
