Description
Downward-Facing Dog Pose is an inverted V-shaped posture that engages the upper body and legs while lengthening the spine. It stretches the hamstring and calf muscles in the backs of the legs and builds strength in the shoulders and arms. This foundational pose is often used to transition between sequences, providing an all-over back body stretch and a moment to gather energy in many yoga practices.
