Asana of the Week: Revolved Downward-Facing Dog

Revolved Downward-Facing Dog is a variation on the popular pose and adds a deeper stretch to the hamstrings while enhancing detoxification, balance, and full-body coordination.

How to: Revolved Downward-Facing Dog

Start in Downward Facing Dog. 

• On an inhalation, lift your left hand and reach it beneath your torso and around to your right thigh. Allow your waist and torso to twist open to the right. Work toward placing your left hand on the ground to the outside of your right foot. If that is not possible yet, rest your hand on the outside of your right leg’s shin or upper thigh.
• Turn your head to look underneath your right arm. Keep your gaze soft. If you have no neck pain, gaze up at the ceiling.
• Hold for 5-10 breaths. To release, inhale as you un-twist and return your left hand to the mat. Come back into Downward-Facing Dog. Repeat the pose on the other side for the same amount of time, and then return to Downward-Facing Dog again.

Benefits of Revolved Downward-Facing Dog

The Revolved Downward-Facing Dog has a lot of benefits for all yoga students. Some of the major benefits are:

• Full-body stretching
• Strength-building

Upper Back Lifts

• Lay your belly on the ball, spread your legs wide, and plant your toes on the floor.
• Bend your elbows and gently touch your fingertips to the back of your head. Keep your arms strong and resist the urge to rest your hands on your head.
• Take a breath in and, as you exhale, raise your upper torso as much as you can, so your chest comes off the ball. Inhale to slowly lower your torso back to the starting position. Keeping your movements slow allows you to work your abs.
• This counts as one rep. Complete three sets of 12 to 15 reps.
