Video

Description

Yoga Upload with Maris Aylward – Welcome to Part 1 of our VINYASA ESSENTIALS TUTORIAL SERIES! Learn how to do Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) properly. This is a Yoga Pose Tutorial for both beginners and intermediate students. The first section is about the basic shape of the pose and common struggles for beginners. In the second section, we learn refinements, some joint actions, and several ways to improve Downward Dog for intermediate yoga practitioners. Apply these techniques to feel better and stay safe in this common (yet complex) yoga pose. 🙂

The next videos will tackle the rest of the poses in the “vinyasa” sequence – Plank Pose, Chaturanga, Upward Facing Dog and Cobra. In the last video, we will put all these elements together and learn different vinyasa variations.
