Benefits of Downward-Facing Dog:

Full-body stretch: Elongates your spine, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, and hands.
Strengthens: Builds strength in your arms, shoulders, legs and core.
Improves circulation: The inverted position promotes blood flow to the head, aiding in mental clarity.
Calms the mind: Helps to alleviate stress and mild anxiety.
Energizing: Can be invigorating and boost overall energy levels.
How to Perform Downward-Facing Dog:

Start on All Fours: Begin on your hands and knees, tabletop position. Place hands shoulder-width apart, knees hip-width distance apart.
Lift Hips Up and Back: Tuck your toes and inhale as you lift your knees off the floor. Straighten your legs (as much as is comfortable) and raise your hips, creating an inverted “V” shape.
Ground Your Hands: Press your palms firmly into the mat, spreading your fingers wide. Rotate your upper arms outward slightly so your elbows face mostly back.
Lengthen Spine: Elongate your spine towards your heels, drawing your chest back towards your thighs.
Relax Your Head: Relax your head and neck between your arms, gazing gently towards your toes or navel.
Hold and Breathe: Hold for 5-10 breaths, focusing on lengthening your body with each exhale.
Modifications:

Bent Knees: If your hamstrings are tight, keep a slight bend in your knees.
Elevated Hands: Place your hands on a yoga block to reduce wrist strain.
Important Notes:

Listen to your body. If you feel any pain, gently come out of the pose.
Avoid this pose if you have high blood pressure, wrist injuries, or certain eye conditions.
