Downward-Facing Dog Alignment
Yoga / Popular
Set up and align the foundational inversion to protect wrists and lengthen the spine.
What coaches agree on
- Spread your fingers wide and root down through your knuckles, pressing especially through the base of your index finger and thumb to take the pressure off your wrists.
- Roll your upper arms outward and let your shoulder blades slide down your back, away from your ears.

- Bend your knees as much as you need to lengthen your spine and bring your chest toward your thighs — your heels reaching the floor is not required.
