Downward Dog 101

Downward dog is one of those yoga postures that most of us learn early on - it also typically appears in most yoga classes This is a posture that stretches and lengthens almost every part of your body! But wait…there’s more! Downward dog is an inversion - meaning that in the pose, your head is below your heart. When we move into inversions in yoga, we are changing the flow in our internal bodies. Oxygen as well as blood is given the ability to move in the opposite direction that it normally does allowing a rejuvenation of the body. Yogis also believe that not only is the physical body affected by inversion poses but also the emotional body as well - when we turn upside down we are giving ourselves the ability to have new and fresh perspective! Also!
