Downward Dog

Instructions

1. Start on all fours with hands shoulder-width apart and knees hip-width apart.
2. Press through your palms and lift your hips up and back, straightening your legs as much as flexibility allows.
3. Form an inverted V-shape, with heels pressing toward the floor.
4. Hold the position, breathing steadily and lengthening the spine.
5. Lower back to the starting position when done.
