How to do a downward dog pose

​

Stand upright on the floor with your feet shoulder-width apart and your legs spread to hip width, then extend your arms to shoulder width and place your hands on the floor.

​

② Lift your hips to form a triangle shape, then have the dog stretch down as if yawning.

At this time, do not put too much effort into your shoulders.

​

③ If maintaining the posture is difficult, lift your heels or bend your knees to perform the downward dog pose.

​

④ As you gradually become accustomed, it is good to straighten your legs.

 

Effects of doing the Down Dog pose for 3 minutes daily

​

1. Correcting a bent shoulder

​

Modern people constantly tilt their heads and hunch their shoulders due to the use of smartphones and computers.

If you repeat this habitually, it is easy to develop a herniated disc or shoulder stiffness, but the downward dog pose helps open up the chest and shoulders, alleviating pain and increasing overall flexibility.

​

2. Activation of blood circulation

​

Adopting a downward dog pose helps to facilitate overall blood circulation to the brain by directing the head downward.

This helps eliminate toxins and facilitates the supply of oxygen and nutrients, alleviating eye fatigue and stress.

​

3. Complete the leg line

​

Swelling in the legs is common due to a strenuous lifestyle, but by adopting the Down Dog pose and stretching the legs straight, the calves and thighs are naturally stretched, helping to reduce swelling and create a slimmer leg line.
