Downward-Facing Dog Serratus & Core Integration

Tuck toes and press into Downward Dog, lifting forearms, hugging them together to fire the pectorals, and spreading shoulder blades wide to recruit serratus anterior.

Key points

  • Press into fingertips and feel weight distribute away from wrists
  • Energetically squeeze forearms inward while broadening the upper back
  • Engage serratus anterior to establish overhead shoulder stability

Common mistakes

Sinking chest toward the floor and pinching shoulder blades together.
