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.
# Start from a kneeling position with your upper back relaxed, so that your trunk rests in your shoulders. The arms are extended and vertical, the fingers point straight forward.
# 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.
# To intensify the shoulder stretch, move further back and lower your shoulders a bit.
