ALIGNMENT NOTES +
- If you choose to Flip the Dog, do this slowly and carefully. The feet should be parallel, you press both feet into the Earth in order to lift the booty and open the heart. If you have any shoulder injury or compromises, you should stick to the option shown (holding 3 leg down dog).
The most important part is the ‘flip back out’, scoot the booty down and close to the heels, then rotate around the shoulder and press yourself back to Downward Facing Dog, this ensures you take care of the shoulder. - For Puppy Dog (Uttana Shishosana) the focus is a reaching long with the arms and a melting of the heart. The booty is high in the air, the heart is low. If your chest reaches the Earth, you can also place your chin on the Earth if this feels ok for your neck. Otherwise take your forehead to the ground. You should feel a stretch in the chest and shoulders.
