Nope, Downward Dog isn’t about getting your heels on the floor… 🤭
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog) pops up in almost every yoga practice, but here’s the secret: it’s not about how it looks, it’s about how it feels.✨
With just a few small tweaks, this pose can shift from awkward 🥴 to amazing 😌.
Here are my top 3 alignment tips for a comfy, powerful Downward Dog:
🐶 Spread your fingers wide - helps protect the wrists and distribute weight evenly.
🐶 Melt shoulders away from the ears - strong & spacious upper body support.
🐶 Bend your knees generously - the goal is a long spine, not heels on the mat.
It’s all about creating space, stability, & ease. 🧘🏼♀️
💬 Which one of these tips will you try in your next practice?
