so much more going on.

Adho Mukha Svanasana, or more widely known as Downward Dog, is one of the most widely practiced
yoga poses on the planet. It stretches and strengthens your entire body. It may not look very difficult
but it requires strength, flexibility, and stamina to be performed correctly.

your hands in front of your chest. Similar to the video below. Learn to inhale and exhale while you are
standing and keep the body balance on one foot. As with most of these poses, it may look easier than it
