The Benefits of Down-Dog Pose Include: It energizes the body and strengthens the arms, abdomen and legs. Your hands, shoulders, calves and hamstrings will feel stretched and relaxed from expanding. Try Adho Mukha Svanasana at home and let me know what you think below!

To start this pose, sit on your heels. 
Lower your head and stretch your arms forward. 
Lift your butt into table pose so that only your hands, knees and toes are touching the mat. 
Press against the mat with your hands and straighten your legs. 
Let your head hang freely as you stretch your legs and waist. 

Tip: You might have trouble opening your shoulders in Down-Dog. If this is the case for you, try using a set of blocks or a small prop to raise your hands off the floor.
