Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Begin in downward-facing dog, gently pedaling the feet out to awaken the calves and hamstrings before settling into stillness.

Key points

  • Press firmly into all ten knuckles and push away from the earth
  • Send the sit bones high and keep a soft bend in the knees if hamstrings are tight
  • Relax the weight of the head and draw shoulders away from the ears

Common mistakes

Dumping weight into the wrists, locking out knees, or collapsing into the shoulders.
