Adho mukha śvānāsana

Adho mukha śvānāsana 

Adho mukha śvānāsana or in English Downward facing dog. 
Usually when we practice this asana the arms will carry most of the body weight. But actually, the weight should be distributed equally between the hands and legs. 

Therefore, one of the first actions we should work on here is bringing the weight from hands to the feet. ✨

B.K.S Iyengar wrote about Adho mukha śvānāsana in his book Light on Yoga: “When one is exhausted, a long stay in this pose removes fatigue and brings back the lost energy”. 


Enjoy.
