How to do Adho Mukha Svanasana yoga dog pose

The adho mukha svanasana is a yoga pose that strengthens the upper arms, the back and the shoulders
and also stretches the calves. This pose is often used as a passage between other yoga poses.
For example the trikonasana- triangle pose is usually started from the dog pose.

# Move back so that your arms harldy carry any of the weight.
# The lift your hip and lower your heels. ( the whole foot sole has to be on the floor - calves are stretched slightly ) For a "V" with your legs, your upper bady and your arms.
Extend knees and elbows.
