Have you ever found yourself fumbling through upward facing dog over and over again in a vinyasa flow class? Urdhva Mukha Svanasana or Upward facing dog, if done properly, can be a wonderful pose to help strengthen your back, wrists, and arms, stretch your chest, shoulders, and abs, and stimulate abdominal organs.
Here are some key tips to improving your updog :)
- Line your palms directly under your shoulders (too far forward can put strain on your wrists)
- Micro-bend your elbows to help open the chest and draw the shoulder blades together on your back
- Look straight ahead or tip your head back slightly - be careful not to jam your head back and strain your neck
- Release your shoulders down your back away from your ears
