Life Through A Lense

If you have ever seen a dog stretch, you know how Downward Dog got its name. It’s a standard yoga pose, though not all beginners are able to do it, be positive and I’m sure you’ll achieve it. For this position, start on your hands and knees, with your knees directly below your hips and your hands slightly forward of your shoulders. Press back, lifting your knees away from the floor while keeping your arms straight, and lift your tailbone up. Stretch your heels toward the floor to lengthen your hamstrings. This yoga pose opens up the back of the body and is very energizing. It should be held for about 30 seconds to one minute.
