Pose of the Day: Down Dog

Pose of the Day:  Down Dog

Thank you, Roxie, for demonstrating the "Pose of the Day!"  The "Down Dog" movement strengthens and stretches!  You work the top of the body, and the lower body too.  You’ll feel it in your hands, arms, shoulders, back, calves, hamstrings and even the arches of your feet. When your body is "inverted" (or your heart is above your head), you encourage blood flow and energize and calm the body!

Put a little microbend in the knees.  Heels reach to the ground.  Roll into a plank and the back to down dog to check the distance between your hands and feet.  Push through the ground and separate or lift the shoulder blades.  Feel strong and feel the stretch in your arms, back and legs!

Try to be a little upside down EVERY day!
