Pose of the week!

Downward dog strengthens and lengthens the upper body, and gives a new visual perspective. It is also beneficial for circulation, the hands and wrists, and feet and ankles.

There are multiple ways to get into downward dog, and multiple variations to help suit individual needs and bodies. Here are a few ways to enter basic downward dog:

1. Standing at the front of your mat, lift your arms straight above your head. Lower your arms as you bend forward as if reaching for something right by toes on the floor. Then walk, hop, or jump your feet towards the back of your mat and adjust yourself into a triangle as shown. Rotate each shoulder outward, away from the center of the body.

3. Lying on your belly, legs out straight, hands on the floor with wrists beneath the shoulders, and elbows drawn into the ribs, push up into plank, then, toes tucked under, drive the heels back and the hips up until you are in your supported triangle. Keep the abdomen strong.

If the basic pose does not feel quite right, here are a few variations you can try.

1. Take two yoga blocks, or something of a similar thick rectangular shape, and place them on the floor where your heels will be in downward dog. When you go into the pose, place your heels on the blocks. You can also place the back of your mat against a wall, and lean the blocks at an angle against the wall.

2. Facing a wall, reach forward and place both hands on the wall shoulder distance apart. Gently walk the feel backwards and draw the hands down the wall until you are bent at a 90-degree angle, feet rooted into the floor, and hands pushing into the wall.

We hope you enjoy your downward dog explorations!

It is Yom Kippur. G’mar chatima tova. Thank you Maestro Linda Mietus for playing the shofar for us tonight after class. Yom Kippur is a day of atonement and is considered the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Like yoga, Yom Kippur is about introspection and self examination.
