Adho Mukha Svanasana yoga, commonly known as Downward-Facing Dog, is a foundational pose that strengthens, stretches, and revitalizes the entire body. In this asana, the hips lift upward while the hands and feet press firmly into the mat, creating an inverted “V” shape that lengthens the spine and opens the shoulders. Adho Mukha Svanasana yoga helps release tension from the back, improves flexibility in the hamstrings and calves, and boosts circulation throughout the body. It also builds stability in the arms and core while calming the mind through steady, mindful breathing. As one of the most versatile and essential poses in yoga, it brings balance, grounding, and renewed energy to practitioners at every level.
