Support Dog

Transition from an all-fours position into an elevated downward dog variant, pushing the floor away to elevate and open the thoracic spine and shoulders while driving heels gently down.

Key points

  • Push actively through the palms and wrap triceps downward
  • Elevate the scapulae and press chest gently toward the thighs
  • Keep knees softly bent if hamstrings are tight to prioritize shoulder elevation

Common mistakes

Collapsing through the shoulders or rounding the lower back.
