This classic yoga pose is great for stretching your entire body and improving circulation. When you do Downward-Facing Dog, your heart is higher than your head, which helps fresh blood flow to your brain. This increases oxygen supply, making you feel refreshed and awake.
How to do it:
Start on your hands and knees.
Curl your toes under and lift your hips up and back, straightening your legs as much as comfortable.
Your body should form an upside-down “V” shape.
Press your hands firmly into the floor and try to keep your heels down.
Let your head hang between your arms and breathe deeply.
Hold for 5 to 10 breaths.
This pose stretches your back, legs, and shoulders, releasing tension and boosting energy.
