Downward Facing Dog is a very common pose in yoga classes, and a lot of students who are new to yoga have asked me how far the hands and feet should be away from each other. Follow along this video for a simple trick I do to measure the distance in my Downward Facing Dog. 🔘 Come into the All Four Position. Make sure that the shoulders are directly over the wrists and the hips are directly over the knees. 🔘 Then, lift the knees straight up and send the hips/butt up and back without moving your feet. You can then try to press the heels down to the ground, but if they’re lifted — no worries! 🔘 Your Downward Facing Dog will then resemble an inverted V. Of course if you’re new to yoga, you might have to bend the knees a little bit in this pose or lift the heels a little to get into proper alignment, which is totally fine! I’ll be making more videos about the alignment of this pose later on in the future, so stay tuned 😊🙏🏼 #downwarddog #downwardfacingdog #yogabeginner #yogapractice #yogatips #yogatipsforbeginners #downdog
