Description
Three-Legged Downward Dog is a variation of Downward Dog performed by lifting one leg toward the sky. This asymmetrical pose challenges your balance and core stability while providing an even deeper opening in the standing leg’s hamstrings and the lifted leg’s hip flexors. It engages the shoulders and arms as they bear weight, and introduces a gentle rotation in the lifted hip, offering a hip-opening benefit similar to split preparations.
