ALIGNMENT NOTES +
- Use a blanket or towel under your knees for extra comfort (if taking the All 4’s option).
- In Downward Facing Dog and All 4’s, pull the belly in and up and focus on pressing the hands into the Earth, rolling the shoulders away from the ears.
- It’s always best to focus on your technique. Make the movement smaller until you get used to it, then you can always take it higher.
- For your upward facing dog (Urdva Mukha Svanasana), ensure that when you glide through your knees stay off the Earth. You squeeze the butt and the shoulders stay down, away from the ears. Hands should be directly under your shoulders.
