Downward-facing dog

Relax with this yoga pose and stretch your legs and back.

Reach and place your hands flat on the floor, so your hands and knees are on the floor. Raise your hips high and keep your arms straight. Help straighten your back by squeezing your shoulder blades together. Keep your head down, looking at the floor.

If you have injuries or if you're concerned about exercising, consult with your health care provider before starting a yoga program.
