Downward Facing Dog

2/15/2022

0 Comments

 
Here’s how to get into the Downward Facing Dog pose:
  • Get on your hands and knees on the floor, with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
  • Curl your toes under and push back through your hands to lift your hips and straighten your legs, so you are in an upside-down V.
  • Spread your fingers and outwardly rotate your upper arms to broaden through your shoulders, and feel your shoulder blades move down toward your hips.
  • TIP: Think about engaging your quads (front of thighs). This can help you take some of the weight off your upper body.
  • Breathe.
  • Now, hold this pose for one minute. If you need to, bend your knees and lower to take a short break.

    Natatia Gemmell. 
    No matter how busy life gets, eating well and exercising are always a part of my weekly schedule.

    I help men and women reduce health risks, reduce stress, feel stronger, and reduce inflammation with nutrition and exercise plans that work for their lifestyles. 

    I LOVE "clean" eating and functional fitness and share my passion for exercising and clean eating with my clients, friends and family, and I want to share with you too. 

    Enjoy the recipes in my recipe blog, and let me know how your next recipe turns out.
