I’m sure everyone has heard of downward dog. It seems to be what everyone knows of yoga. And that’s about it.
Well here’s its not-so-distant cousin, upward dog. The two dogs achieve different things, each stretching the spine in a different direction.
In my classes, upward dog always follows chaturanga and is then followed by downward dog.
Nothing should touch the floor but the tops of your feet and palms of your hands. Keep your shoulders back and down and breathe. Whether or not you look up or straight ahead depends on who taught you. I look straight ahead.
