6. Downward Dog
A. (Shown) With palms on the floor, curl your toes under and exhale, lifting your hips toward the ceiling, straightening your legs and pressing your heels toward the floor (it’s okay if heels don’t touch the floor).
B. Draw your abs in as you spread your fingers and toes. Gaze through your feet with the crown of your head pointing downward. Your ears should be next to your upper arms.
C. Hold for one breath, then bend your legs and get back onto your hands and knees with spine straight.
Tip: Emphasize lifting your hips toward the ceiling to stretch your back and legs and protect your shoulders. You may bend your knees if it’s more comfortable than holding your legs straight.
